I havn't signed up for Amazon's market yet, mainly due to the pricing
policy and tax/payment difficulties for non-US developers.
However, at some point, if Amazon sales become significant I'd have to
reconsider I guess. Also I've started getting user queries about it.
Would anyone be so good as to give a current sales ratio for their
app(s) on Amazon and Android markets ?
Probably others are interested too.
TIA!

I decided to jump through their hoops this last week. They sorta push
you right into uploading an app and most of the upload page has "what's
this" links on it but the stuff I screwed up didn't. Then they point
you to FAQ which are down at the bottom of the web page when they
"pause" the submission. In the first case it was that the 114x114
graphic (which is only explained in the FAQ) didn't "match" the app icon
exactly. Then because the app uses Google Maps I needed the alternate
way of signed app submission which their responsive support team
provided. Yes they actually have a support team.
Overall Amazon may be better for reaching customers who don't have
devices with the Google API on them. I have editions without Google
Maps built with just the Android API. I offer the full versions on my
website through SWReg for customers who don't have the paid Android
Market in their country but I think people are wary of "unknown sources"
for Android phones though I've been in business since 1997 with Windows,
Palm and Pocket PC software.
I have a Cruz Velocity tablet and checking the Cruz Market discovered
that the Amazon Store app is available there. So if you're looking to
reach that market segment it may be worthwhile.
