Amazon Mobile Associate API
Hey guys,
I'm sure many of you received this e-mail from Amazon:
Until today, developers have only had three methods to monetize their
apps or games: selling them outright, going "freemium" with in-app
purchasing or subscriptions, or using mobile ads. Starting now, Amazon
has created a new method for developers to monetize: the Amazon Mobile
Associates API, currently available for Android (including Kindle Fire).
This sounds fantastic! Mark, Lorne - if you guys could have a look at this and maybe implement it in Andromo, that would be awesome.

and subscriptions--such as in-game currency, expansion packs, upgrades,
magazine issues and more--from within your apps.

Maybe they've addressed those issues you have concerns about.
@corrsea Correct, that is what I was trying to say (probably poorly) that if the Affiliate plan is dealing in goods that are consumed outside of the app it should be fine, but without really looking into all aspects of Amazon's new program violating in app purchase policy would be the concern of mine.
