Note that this is not about allowing the extension in the store, it's about showing it on the Featured page.
Does OP expect them to buy a Kindle to test the extension?
- pwinnski 4y agoOr install the Kindle app on any phone or tablet.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoIs buying/having a few kindles for testing a unreasonable expense for a company like Google?
- ctvo 4y agoYes. How many random devices out there should they have laying around in case someone writes an extension that involves sending data to those devices? The Kindle accesses the internet through a WiFi network -- this would be required to test the functionality in the extension. Their security team should vet all of these devices, create environments where it's safe for them to be on the network, and ensure they're kept up to date also?
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoSounds reasonable to me.

- ctvo 4y agoThe point is they shouldn’t need to test everything and someone self submitting an add on for review to be featured isn’t what triggers an additional device.

- mometsi 4y agoMaybe tech giants don't like the legal implications of signing each other's consumer EULAs.
