On all the pre-touch Kindles the store is a standalone app.
On the newer touch and PWs it is a *local* HTML5 app if I remember correctly. So is the reader app, which is why it was so easy to jailbreak it originally.

the software running on the Kindle Touch is written mostly in HTML5 and JavaScript, not the Java that all the other Kindles use. In fact, the menus can be thought of as webpages in disguise. Pretty cool, huh?

I thought it was cool.
Especially once we started seeing epub readers for jailbroken Kindles.
