I don't know what to make of this. Perhaps they are DRM free? Does one actually need to have a network connection, or is Appstore running by itself enough? Anyway this is all off topic, perhaps we should start a new thread to discuss it further.
Appstore has to be running in the background and you have to be logged in. When I mention this in another thread I was informed that the DRM is optional and up to developer. So it might not be all apps just certain ones. To find out simple log out of the app store then see which ones you can still use.

Sure go ahead and make a new thread. I'm not sure many know there is DRM on Amazon apps and I doubt everyone reads this thread.

I can confirm Mantano has DRM when bought from Amazon. *grumbles*
