Casey flies to the Amazon

[Tim Jones]

Congrats on getting this done.

Now, to quote ye olde bard - "The proof is in the tasting of the pudding."  Let's see where you end up in a month or so.  I have heard the same thing about the success rates between the two stores.

They ask for exactly the same types and sizes of images with only two exceptions: the "promo" image and icon both differ slightly in size between the two stores. But all the screen shots, display icon, descriptions, developer data, etc. are identical so all you need to do is prepare everything once. Amazon accepts less text than the Market so I had to trim the description a little (I took out all the hollering. Casey never listens to me anyway.)

I was afraid there might be issues because Amazon wraps each app with their own protection code but it sailed through without a hitch.
