The More things change...

[QUOTE=JeremyR;1338387]While you are right this is about Amazon's Android store, the Kindle does have a number of "apps" or programs. Entirely games so far, but presumably the potential for more is there.

Amazon seems to do this in other areas, so it probably does also apply to Kindle apps. To a certain degree it makes sense for them, because it keeps them from being undercut by someone else.

I have seen both sides of this argument before, By limiting the apps that can be released on your device you limit the amount of pure ripoff Cra... that gets released on your platform, On the other hands you are telling developers "Don't brother with us, we are not going to support you" So when you hear "You have to get ____ It is just so neet!" you are not able to get it. And the customer soon goes to a different platform where they can get it. I know a guy who has 4 game mechines just so he can play the games he wants, But I am not willing to go that far and I dought many are
