2) I've found myself checking daily for the free app, then *purchasing* it. Why? Why not? I don't have to install it right away. I can try it, if I don't like it, uninstall it. If I do like it, it was free .

Interesting. It's only a matter of time before the App Store is installed as default on different devices. This may be yet another point of differentiation. eg. An Amazon Android tablet vs. a Google one!

What's most interesting about your testimony is that you continue check back from time to time! This is pretty significant as it implies that the store is compelling enough to have you go out of your way to check in.

I forsee Amazon being an incredibly formidable Market competitor. In fact, I see the Amazon Android Appstore surpassing the Google Market.
