- 15¢ the cost per megabyte Amazon wants developers to pay for its Kindle app store
- 70% the share of the pie developers take home after the 15-cent-per-meg charge
- 30% the share Amazon takes; this is a less favorable deal than Apple’s App store, BTW
- Why the 15-cent charge? Simple: Users don’t pay for the wireless connection. Amazon does. It’s a cost-recouping measure which has the effect of making the store less desirable for developers. No free apps to be found here, guys. source
