Amazon understands developers (see aws) and buyers (see amazon) much better than google. They have a good shot at this.

- jonhendry 16y agoThe way they've handled their kindle apps API developer program suggests otherwise.
- shpxnvz 16y agoHowever, I know from personal experience that they treat their sellers (see seller central) terribly. I've personally witnessed arbitrary changes in listing policies (a couple of years ago they started banning all low volume sellers from offering toys during the christmas season), horrible database issues (on two separate occasions a year apart over six hundred items have just disappeared from a single seller account with no warning or explanation), and really poor customer service. I am curious to see if they will treat app vendors in the same way.
- foobarbazetc 16y agoJust because one part of Amazon seems developer friendly, doesn't mean they all are. Those "rules" are all about treating developers like crap. Which is fine, but I won't be going near this thing with a 20ft pole.
