AndAppStore and SlideME are the best. But here's the real deal. 20% of my purchases are declined. I then mail those people to tell them about my app being available on SlideME and less than 1% of those people convert to SlideME sales even though they wanted to buy the app initially.
So why is this? 1. They are worried they have already incurred a charge and don't want to risk paying twice. 2. AndAppStore and SlideME both require download of client installer app AND authorization of payment method, e.g. Paypal (AndAppStore) or Amazon billing (SlideME). Both payment types have to confirm identity - a process which can run to several days if the identification process requires checking bank statements for confirming bank details are genuine. So the user gives up on the purchase. This is because they want the app immediately - no messing around with client installs or setting up new payment accounts. They may then choose to purchase an alternative app or look to download an illegal copy - sad but true. Sorry to be negative - but this is my experience. Recommendation to AndAppStore / SlideME - when users buy apps, they want something instantly - hesitation means no sale. Alternative markets should aim for simplicity of click on a weblink, pay with Paypal and have the download come straight down.
