I believe that is allowed, but: - You can't sell it anywhere else. Amazon requires that you give them the best pricing on the app, ever. Per the article, if you even list it for a day on sale for $0.99, you have to price it in Amazon for that amount forever. - Pricing is at amazon's discretion. So they'll price it at $28.57, you'll get $20 when your mom buys it, and nobody else will. - The big win is if you get offered for free, since then a ton of people download you and you still get 20% of your purchase price. That will never happen to you, since the "who gets featured" algorithm appears to be people-making-decisions based. Side note: this model is excruciatingly bad for apps that have per-user costs to the developer. If, for example, you plan for the average $0.99 user to use $0.25 of server storage and CPU, and amazon decides to give your app away, you may wind up in the hole.
