Yeah it links to your existing account. It gets its own send to kindle email address and shows up in your kindle devices as ___'s Android Device. Which for me was a bit confusing as my Amazon Kindle app was already there as ___'s Android, so I renamed the Samsung one to ___'s Samsung. I only got this for the free book a month anyway, as I'm no longer reading on my phone.

Also in the process of downloading this I found out Samsung has an ebook store, which was news to me.

News to a lot of people which is probably why they're in bed with Amazon.

Thanks for the tip.
I only use the phone for calls but a free book a month is worth the activation.

They seem to be linked, all my regular books show up on the carousel.

The thing is, Samsung's official announcement states compatibility with Galaxy devices above 4.0. Maybe they haven't rolled it out to the older OS devices yet?

The app will debut in April starting with the Galaxy S5 along with existing Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets above Android 4.0 worldwide. As part of the service, Amazon and Samsung will launch Samsung Book Deals, available to all customers using Kindle for Samsung.

You could be right, it could be a gradual roll out, but you need to get it from the Samsung App Store, you can't get it from Google Play.

They've held it back in Microsoft territory? Sorry, out of ideas. Maybe the app for your model isn't ready yet?
