Only those that say 'active content' are apps in the traditional sense (it is an application, it runs on the Kindle, doesn't require wireless to function, although it may use it to get new content). Almost everything else in the store that claims to be a game or puzzle is just linking to a web page and cannot be played if the internet is not connected or if the destination web site ceases to exist.
Yup. I'm surprised that Amazon allows these jokers to continue "publishing". The reviews of their Jumble "apps" are especially bad.
