Guys make sure to check also your email spam folders, the first email I got from Amazon showed up in there. In fact i didn't know I had it until they emailed me again a few days later as a reminder. I've decided to give it a shot, what the heck. Looks like you can cancel with 10 days advance

Amazon hasn't sent me the offer. Sure, I'll take it if they do. From secondhand information: === It seems like if your app is available on other platforms, you have to make sure to update it at the same time on Amazon’s store that you do in any other store (this will piss off a lot of

I would probably stick to the Android Market. Since it is still a place where the consumer base it the largest , I guess, that's the single most important thing for me. If there is any other store which has a bigger consumer base, it would be a good idea to shift then. By consumer base, I mean,
