Amazon is looking for apps for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and SpainCNet's Donna Tam reports on an Amazon press release requesting submission of apps for international distribution, as above, and saying that it has "plans for further global expansion in the near future."
Those apps would be useless in those areas without a Kindle Fire, so, finally, these will soon be available outside the U.S. Amazon includes, Tam says, praise from companies like Rovio and Electronic Arts on "the success of their apps in the US Amazon appstore and among Kindle Fire users..."
More important for developers, Amazon's distribution terms for the developers are vastly improved, with "more flexibility in when they launch their apps" and their new payment rate of "70 percent of the list price on each app sale" no matter what Amazon's selling price for the app is on a given day.

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
