Hello, I have a question involving amazon appstore apps. So if i have my own account, yet my dad bought this app for $20 dollars, there's no way i could use my dad's apk on my phone without signing out of my own account in amazon appstore, right? it always says "you do not own this app"

correct, there is no way to bypass this. either stick with yours or use your dads "$20" app.

I've downloaded the amazon appstore and I thought that It would get me a full market with all the apps that I miss out on with the google app store. I found that this is not the case. When looked I found the exact same selection in both stores. Does the Amazon Appstore pull from the same sources as the google one? Do I have to do a market fix of some kind to get ALL the apps?
No, amazon has its own android appstore. Google charges $25 for developer access and Amazon charges $75 and first year free. Google also charges 30% of the sales. Anyways, but I like the Amazon app store more and more because it has quality apps and "test drive" features for some apps. Also, I got a free "paid" app per day. the checkout experience from Amazon is better..
I am not sure do we ever get 100% apps from the market hack. Some people modified the build.prop to use an android phone fingerprint.. and they might get more apps and claim to get the full market. Do a search in the general section..
Hey guys, I've heard a lot about this Amazon App Store, but I don't seem to really understand its purpose. There's already Android Market, which has all the apps available, why would there be another app store, with less apps? And another thing that I can't think of, is why did Google allow Amazon to have this app store? Aren't they losing money with it? The more they sell through the Android Market, more money they make!
Who cares what the purpose is; they give you free PREMIUM apps!!

Thing is it is not available in my Coun, that's why I don't get its purpose.
How does Google allow such thing?
And do the Apps that I get through Amazon incorporate in my Androird Makert (allowing me to download them like apps I have bought there or not?)
I truly believe Google cares very little about app sale residuals in the long run. They care more about ensuring that there is an abundance of ways to make Android more accessible to more people.
Having a competing, authorized app store underwritten by a successful online merchant is a good move, I think.
In the end, it all boils to advertising dollars for Google.

Amazon App Store. Great for the end users, absolutely terrible for the small developer.
I've had bad experiences with the Amazon Marketplace and refuse to use it now. They rejected one of my apps because it is not compatible with 3 specific manufacturers (HTC, Samsung, or Droid [I assume they mean Motorola]), The one app they DID accept took well over 2 weeks to be accepted, download details are STILL not available (been 13 days since it was accepted) and they take the same cut as the Google Marketplace whilst also charging you $100 a year.
I don't see the point tbh

What makes you think that Google has any authority to stop it?
Did you not hear the guy above, free premium apps. i just got zenonia 2 free today, and andry birds was free a few days ago. i mean the android market is good and all but i think amazon is much better. Also i like the layout of amazon better, i think its more user friendly. I mean the current version of android market is ok, but its a big waste of space.
When you buy something through Amazon, does it get linked to your Google account, allowing you to acess it from the Android Market?

No, it is separate. If you bought it from Amazon, it won't show as bought in the Android Marketplace. I wish that would change, to at least recognize it is installed.

Well, as a user out of the US, it's pretty much rules a huge majority out. I tried using it with a fake account to try out the free premium app

But the premium apps stopped working after a day. So I dropped it all together
I decided to give a shot this morning to see the feasibility of switching from Google Android Market to Amazon AppStore as I like the idea of a more independent app store. I first discovered (not surprisingly) that the Google apps aren't there neither are a lot of other popular applications I have been using. In addition I was surprised to see the number of applications which have older versions in Amazon Appstore. Google Market kept giving notifications of upgrades available for applications installed from Amazon. It's unfortunate they are lagging behind but I bet it picks up in the future.
I wouldn't switch. It's not a replacement, but rather it's complimentary. Maybe you'd use both, but I wouldn't use one or the other exclusively (at least not Amazon's). I like the layout of the Amazon app store better, and the free premium apps are great. Having the links on my Amazon account and able to be sent to any device is great, of course (though that's similar to the Google marketplace)! The biggest deal breaker for me is that it doesn't have smooth app updating like the Google marketplace does, so if you have a ton of apps like I do on my tablet, you have to authorize the permissions again on every single update being installed.
Hi guys, im a noob but
How do i buy books with the kindle bookreader app and vibe bookstore pre loaded on my TF101?
How do i update the newspapers so i can download the latest newspapers?
You can buy ebooks from amazon and they will be synched with the Kindle app.
As for the newspaper I think you have to subscribe to that service.
There should be an app called Press Reader for news papers that was pre-installed.
Newpapers? download Google Currents. Best app on the market.
Books? Nook app or Kindle app
Magazines? PocketMag or Zinio (sp?).
The Nook also supports magazines, not sure about the Kindle but I'd be pretty surprised if it doesn't.

I have Amazon's Kindle and some books purchased through the web. The ebooks are visible in my Amazon's account web (haven't tried to read them from there) but they also show in my Kindle and the Kindle app in any device. I've tried Kindle app in TF and in my SGS2 and the books show in both.
As for the credit card, if you feel more secure, you could buy from the web instead from the app itself.

If you don't trust Amazon its hard to buy something... still you could buy from amazon with a pre-paid payment card (like a Visa buy with a specified amount of money)
You need to give your card details on amazon.com exactly like buying anything. You should Google for setting up 1-click, it's useful; never used it myself but the app for Android might be setup to use 1-click.
From the app, you go to the Kindle Store, find and buy the book you want.
From the PC, you go to amazon.com, find and buy the book you want in _kindle_ format, and tell it to send it to your Android device.
It's the easist thing on Amazon, after searching for products.

Hi XDA!
Was hoping someone can help me with my current issue!
So in May 2011, I purchased ROM Manager premium licence with an in-app purchase I believe. I have the Google checkout receipt for it and it says it is a 'digital delivery' so I think that's how I bought it
Since then I've upgraded my phone and now I cannot recover the premium licence anymore. The ROM Manager Premium app on the Play Store says I'd have to pay for it (which is expected since I technically didn't buy that app), and I've tried to contact the developer for help but they don't appear to be answering my inquiries
Anyone have any idea what I can do to recover the licence? Would be great not to have to pay $5.99 for it again, or am I just plain out of luck?
Thanks for any help in advance!
I am having the same issue. I bought the app a couple of years ago and was just browsing through my Google Wallet purchases and was reminded of my purchase when I saw my history. I remembered that I made the purchase through the Rom Manager app itself and not directly from the Google Play Store.
I will probably send them an email, with a screenshot tomorrow.
Last May, I purchased Backcountry Navigator Pro from the Amazon App Store. It hadn't seen much use until recently when I started spending a lot of time on the hiking trails.
I was interested in checking out one of their premium addons (in-app purchase) but it kept giving me errors about premium addons not being available in my market. I shot an email off to the developer, who noticed that I was on version 5.0.3 and instructed me to update to the newest (5.7.4) via google play. Problem is, Google Play - while showing that app installed on my phone - doesn't keep it up to date. My assumption is because it came from Amazon. So, I contacted the developer again and explained the situation. I was told that they had pulled that app from Amazon about 7 months back (shortly after I had purchased it). I was told to contact Amazon and request a refund so that I could re-purchase the app on Google Play.
So, I contact Amazon help desk. I explain the situation to them. They respond that there is nothing they can do, and instruct me to contact the developer.
So here I am, sitting on a $14.00 paid app that I can't actually use, a developer that is either unwilling or unable to help, a google play that won't update an app if it wasnt purchased through them, and amazon unwilling to refund me.
My question is simple... does anyone here know of another way to get this app updated without shelling out another $14 for it?
Side note - Lesson learned. Don't offer support to 3rd party app stores. It'll bite you in the ass.

Hate to break it to you, but you won't be able to do anything here.
