This seems like an awesome project! Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't support Kindles yet, right? Only Android and iOS?

  Well. Considering kindle does not support GCM, no, uniqush does not support kindle. But there's some work around: there's another piece of program which maintains long term TCP connections: http://github.com/uniqush/uniqush-conn http://github.com/uniqush/uniqush-conn However, uniqush-conn is still under construction (more precisely, the server side program is almost there, but the client library is still under construction.) The whole picture of the system is described here: http://blog.uniqush.org/uniqush-after-go1.html http://blog.uniqush.org/uniqush-after-go1.html I haven't heard that amazon has any free public service for push notification for kindle, like GCM or APNS. If there exist one, I will definitely add support to uniqush-push. Otherwise, a long term TCP connection may be the only choice for uniqush. Supporting Windows Phone would be a trivial job. But I do not have a Windows device to work with, the support for windows has to be delayed.

    Well. It seems that kindle does provide some cloud service for push notification [1]. Then I will add this support in recent release 1. https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/adm/concepts.html https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/adm/concepts.html

does is cost cheaper to run this on a dedicated box (e.g medium instance) instead of using Amazon's sns ? I had previously implemented push notifications manually but the challenge is sending a lot of messages when you have over 1M devices.
