True, but unlikely. Amazon isn't willing to eat the cost; they are counting on plenty of people to go for the promotion. It may actually benefit some people. I don't expect them to discount more than 70% in most cases, because at that point they start losing money too. > Overall, Amazon is not giving me a Warm And Fuzzy Feeling (TM). > True. If this "sale price" they are doing on my app becomes permanent, I may need to withdraw. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
