Some may or my not know that amazon is kicking off their store by offering 1 free app every day.. now if you already downloaded the app just click on the icon and its on the front page... but for the rest of you follow the link below.
todays app is Farm Frenzy
i have not been able to download the APK for the amazon store yet. i have been trying for 2 days now. Does anybody have this?
Here you go.
I was skeptical about their app store at first but now I really love it. My family all shares one Amazon account so if one person buys an app we can all use it. Plus this free-app-a-day sceme that was so popular on iOS is now on Android. Excellent work, Amazon.
So Happy Its Thursday

Here use mine: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Did you get it? Lol. Why do they want a credit card if they are free?

So they can charge if you purchase anything, its a pretty standard practice.

Go to any drug store and get a Visa/MC/Amex gift card with whatever little denomination. Amazon needs to have a card on file *in case* you ever ACTUALLY buy something. Standard practice.

Shazam is a cool app I thought about buying it full price before. It tells you the name of a song after listening to it
so when i downloaded the app. i input all of my information. and it keeps saying i need to add a default address to be able to purchase...But i have put a default addres... and all my info..including a card on file. Wtf
It's actually easier to set up an amazon account online and then just sign in from the app...just FYI. Saves headaches
So I am also hearing that apple is crying over a copyright over the name appstore and suing amazon....and he told m thee amazon app store is going t be shut down soon anyone know about this?

Anyone have a problem with their amazon app icons disappearing from their apps? I rebooted and several are gone. I can launch them by going through the amazon app, but it's a pain in the butt.

I always seem to lose an amazon app every time I flash a rom/update a rom. Never fails, usually the last one that I installed. Whether I TiBU'd days before flashing or immediately before.
But as far as the icon's disappearing, not having that issue.
You could always try to un/reinstall the apps... the apks should still be on your phone.... I haven't heard much about the icon disappearing, are they also gone from the app drawer?
As for jonnie... this may sound asinine but are you sure you ran TB after the lastest install and before the flash? That may be why the last app installed would be gone
Good Luck
PM me & let me know how it goes

The market does the same thing with all apps that you've purchased. And technically you're purchasing everything from the amazon app store.

+1 Be it free or paid, in Amazon market, everything is considered purchased.
So...lets say I got the app when it was free. If I uninstall it...then decide I want it later, when its not free, do I pay or does amazon know I got it when it was free?

I got talking cat when it was free. Then uninstalled. Now its $0.99 in amazon. But for me, I can still find it under "my apps" for free.
Once purchased is purchased, u'd become immune to future price changes.

Yes they still offer it for no cost. Once purchased, free or not, Its yours for good. It is your amazon account that records it.

OK I think I have figured it out... or at least a theory. I was in Korea at the time when it happened. I'm now back in the USA and after a reboot, they are back again. It's got to have something to do with location.

I think you figured it out. I know right after I flashed a custom rom, my amazon mp3 app started showing that I was in EU not US because the local had been changed so I couldn't buy mp3's till I fixed it. Media laws prevent me from using EU mp3 app.

I found that a couple of my apps from amazon were on the SD card. When I rebooted, the icons were not on the home page. After moving them to the phones memory, no more probs. Give it a try!
All mine are already there, so that rules that out.

On their official website, they have put "coming soon" for 5 months!!!
5 Months is not SOON to me.. I become impatient. They produce quality articles and I read them. But now they strongly discriminated android against ipad, I blame them.
Anyone knows third party apps that can get a good read on The Economist?
I know one way, which is to buy Amazon Kindle version and read it on Kindle for Honeycomb on my xoom.
That's not the best way though, indirect and PRICY! Any comments will be helpful!
In the past 5 months Android has gone through quite a few changes. Wouldn't be suprised if that is the hold up.

You can get to The Economist through Kindle but you have to pay for it even if you have a suscription. If I remember it is quite expensive and you don't get access to their online only articles. Still worth checking out.

Guys I just want to ask you if anyone of you have ordered at Amazon. I placed an order last week and was expected to receive it today but up the mailman came but my order wasn't there.
I have a tracking number but whenever I try to input it won't register and says I should wait a couple of days for it to register in their side.
Is it really this long when ordering through amazon? It's already 8 days and still no good on tracking it.

I've never had problems with Amazon. All of my packages come either on time or earlier than promised... Try contacting amazon and see what they say.

Exactly. Most things on Amazon these days are sold through 3rd party merchants and their delivery times are often slower than Amazons own. A lot can depend on whether an item is in stock or not too.
I use Amazon a lot so i paid for a Prime membership. Those items that fall under Prime delivery are usually received next day here. The only thing that pisses me off is having to pay so much for digital copies of books.
Hi All
this is my 1st post on XDA and I really really want to thank you all for the great help. I would like to ask if there is a way to use Amzon prime videos outside US using the same old app world wide kindle or any other solution. Any help is much appreciated
As I know, you can't. Cause it checks your location by IP as I understand...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
It remains to be seen if Amazon will offer streaming video to prime subscribers outside the US. I believe this decision will materially impact the success of this device in overseas markets.
Is there still no PPTP VPN support on the Kindle then?

I bought the kf hd at best buy on Friday and have a us amazon prime account. Everything was working great the lending library. Prime videos and app store. I just flew to ecuador and now the only usable app in my kf hd is the browser. I can't access app store, can't access movies, or anything related.
Now I have to side load all the new apps that I want to install
If you are going to use your Kindle fire outside the US I don't recommend you to buy it
