I can't fained the amazon app in the market
Isn't Amazon Free App??
Can anyone post it Here?
Not sure which Amazon App you mean? Amazon MP3 or the the plain old Amazon app?
I couldn't find the Amazon app on the Market either, I had to install the market enabler before it showed up. Try going to cryket.com on a PC,search for amazon there and then download it from there using the barcode. Worked for me after I had installed the enabler.
The Amazon MP3 app, comes with some of the ROMs (cyanogen's for example). Be aware though that I don't think either work outside the US? Not sure about that. Edit, just tried the Amazon MP3 app and it doesn't work for me (UK customer).
Amazon's mobile enabled website is pretty good by itself though.
I Just need the plain old Amazon app
cuz I cant install the market enabler
The great thing about living in Canada is that services always seem to be slow in getting here. One of those services, which I'd really like to have on my new tablet, is Google Books!
I've managed to find a copy of the APK, but it's a phone version. I'm posting here in the hopes that someone might be able to provide a copy of the Honeycomb APK, since it's far better optimized for the tablet screen.
If anyone has this it would be much appreciated!

Thanks, but for some reason it can not be installed. I guess it's only for US region
Indeed! I'm similarly getting the "application not installed error".
I wonder if this is, as gewa mentions, a regional restriction? I'd be surprised as the other versions of Google Books work perfectly on my Xoom, Nexus One and Nexus S.

I've been tryng the same thing from Canada with no luck. Frustrating.
App in the drop box link works for me just fine, live in Europe but have the USA wifi version of Xoom. The only thing is that I had to uninstall the mobile version of google books before I could use this one.
Only problem is that I can only get free books currently...
bwcorvus, thanks for the app
I'm fine if I can only access free books.
Anyone have an apk that I can use to do a straight install? I'm having difficulty unpacking the zip on my Xoom.

Flashed with cwm and apk disappeared. I can see it in system/app but that's it.

Can anyone re-upload the dropbox version? I have a UK Xoom so no Books on there at present, would be good to get the tablet version on there.
Just a quick heads up, Amazon has opened the App store for all.....finally.

It appears that it was accidental, it wasn't meant to be released worldwide yet - so amazon disabled non-US access again.
Hopefully we'll get it soon !
Not yet!
In Czech Republic not yet, not available in mz region!
I was looking to buy AVIA media player for using with my chromecast. Since, I had a few credits left in amazon app store that i can use for in-app $3 purchase, i was thinking of getting avia from amazon app store.
But........
Current Version of avia at amazon appstore: 7.0.27433
Current Version of avia at goggle play store: 7.0.27477 (updated on dec 26th)
So had a few queries...
Is avia's app on amazon meant more for kindle fire tablets and hence not suitable for android tablets? Or is it just outdated version available on amazon?

It works the same (have it on both G2 and Note 10.1 tablet), just the Amazon store version gets updated behind the Playstore version. I have Avia from amazon appstore and it still has issues...

Yes, generally speaking apps on Amazon App Store get updates later than Google Play. I don't know if Amazon has a slower approval process or what, but it has been the case for a number of apps I've looked at.
So, Google Play is my preferred app store, especially since the local Costco is selling 3-packs of $20 Google Play cards for $54 or $55.
However, if your device that doesn't have access to Google Play, or you can't get a Google Wallet, then your options are limited.
...and I love Amazon's free app of the day.
Functionality-wise, as SKyRocKeting727 said, they are meant to be the same. I have the Amazon Avia installed on my daughter's tablet as it doesn't have Play Store yet.
Amazon is giving $5 credit to be used in app store. So you can get Avia or Plex for free. This promotion ends tomorrow. The credit will be available until March, 2014.

Note that in addition to using the newest App Store version, you need to download an app that is not already in your account. Uninstalling something you already have and downloading it again does NOT count.
You should see a pop-up in the App Store that tells you that you qualified for the $5 credit.

Sorry for continuing off topic but I just tried this in the UK and what was my prize? A whole £1 credit to spend on an Amazon MP3. Bah I can't even remember the last time I used an MP3. Clearly a US only offer FYI.

Yes, it needs to be a new addition to your account, added from the most-current (7.5x) App Store version. Updates and reinstalls do not qualify.
Thanks!

I put a free app in my cart and the five bucks showed up....thanks!
I actually have access to both amazon and google play stores... but wanted to use the $5 promotion from amazon..
So the avia downloaded from amazon shows up as update required in google play store. When u click update on play store, it gives an invalid license error...
But good to know its the same app on both stores.

I noticed today that I wasn't receiving an update notification from amazon appstore that avia was able to update, it didn't even show an update available within the appstore itself. Yet, the version of Avia I had installed was older than the one that the store said was available. So in order to update to the newest version, I had to uninstall and reinstall from amzn. Just wish I would have bought it from playstore instead.
On another note, has anyone else gotten Avia stuck in the notification bar? It's persistent and can't be removed unless I restart my phone. It can't be swiped away like all other notifications, even after force closing the app. It happens when I try to click on my media server that is hooked to my router. (I've included a screenshot showing what I'm talking about)

Amazon's update notifications are a bit odd... I turned them off because all it really loved to tell me was that I had new apps to install. Yes Amazon, I wish I could install all 875 apps (Free App of the Day - it's not my fault!)...
Anyway, the way you're meant to update an Amazon Appstore app is:
Launch Amazon Appstore
Tap the Amazon Appstore title to get the menu (if this doesn't work you need to update Amazon Appstore itself, which usually takes two passes - first for notification to download, second to actually apply the update after Appstore is killed)
Tap My Apps
Tap Updates
Choose app to update. If the app doesn't show up, tap the refresh circle button at the upper right and wait...
Uninstalling and reinstalling also works, and arguably may be faster, depending...
I have never seen that weird stuck notification you have there.

Same here. Other Amazon apps show update but not Avia. Maybe it's because of in app purchase. I only found out about an update through this forum.
As for stuck Avia notification, l found that only happens when Avia can't play a file and gets an error when casting to Chromecast. The solution is to play a compatible file to Chromecast. Then pause it. Now remove from notification by hitting x.

Ain't that a PITA, you would think that when the app is closed out of recent apps it would remove the notification. At least that is an easier work around than a full reboot. Thanks
Amazon Appstore showed me an Avia update where it's supposed to be (My Apps > Updates), but I had to refresh before it showed up.

Amazon is behind on many apps. The game Magic 2014 had some installation problems on my Nexus 7 from Play Store but worked on Amazon so I went and did my in-app purchases there. Unfortunately now, Play Store has version 1.4.0 and Amazon has had 1.3.0 for many weeks.

This seems to be a general theme for Amazon Appstore vs Google Play. Not sure why Amazon is slower. Maybe more bureaucracy?

Perhaps. I know that the actual APK file in Amazon has some changes to include their DRM.
Or maybe devs think of Amazon as an afterthought and are lazy in submitting the apps.
Just found this http://www.1mobile.com
Anyone with any experience from it?
I cant find any info about commission and stuff, but it seems to be a pretty large site?
Or, other better alternatives to Google Play?
Alternate Stores
Like with any store the results are mixed based on a number of factors. I like Opera, Mobango, Mobiles24, Amazon, Aptoide, AndroidPit and Yandex but it all depends on the quality of your app and Google Play will still likely drive the majority of your downloads.
google play store is must the primary one, others are all alternative to end users.
I'd still stick to Google Play. I've been using it for a long time now aside from Apps Store.

Well, I was checking 1mobile myself, as I have read elsewhere that it was a big alternative app store.
However, I have seen that its "High-Speed Download" button serves a modified apk, with a lot of additional resources and classes. That seems fishy at the very least.
Does anyone know what 1mobile modifies the apk for? I wouldn't like my app to be associated with adware and bad practices, users to be stolen private data, or additional ads shown within the app.

Hi I know 1 mobile's stuff, do you need it? Upload your app here is not bad choice.

Hi Maggie, I am wondering what are those 3MB or so that 1mobile attaches to my app's apk when the user clicks on "high-speed download".
1Mobile App Store is completely dead. I think you have to go with the Google Play alternative Android stores and even you can go with some mod app stores.
May be this list will help you in choosing that: https://apkfolks.com/app-stores/
