Amazon Appstore now allows Android users to Test Drive apps

The Amazon Appstore was updated on Monday to include the company’s popular Test Drive feature on Android devices. The retail giant previously allowed users to test apps using desktop browsers prior to purchasing them, but now trials can be tested on devices. “Today we begin the beta rollout of Test Drive on Android phones,” Amazon said. “Now customers can instantly try apps on their phone — where a majority of app purchases take place — without downloading or installing anything.” The Test Drive feature is currently available on more than 5,000 apps and is compatible with select Android handsets, however Amazon promises the feature will be rolled out to “many more” devices in the coming months.

UK bookstore chain Waterstones signs deal with Amazon to sell Kindle alongside its own services

Waterstones, one of the UK’s largest booksellers, has signed a deal with Amazon to sell Kindle devices together with “new e-reading services.” Details of the partnership are very thin at present, with more announcements said to be coming this fall. James Daunt, Managing Director of Waterstones, said that the store won’t simply be reselling the Kindle, but rather offering its own services on top:

Amazon shops Kindle Fire home screen to advertisers

Amazon is reportedly meeting with advertisers to pitch the idea of welcome screen ads on its popular Kindle Fire tablet. The retail giant is asking $ 600,000 for prime placement on the slate, according to a report from AdAge. Amazon currently offers its entire range of Kindle eReaders with advertisements that appear on the devices’ screen savers. Customers who opt to purchase a Kindle with ads enjoy discounts of between $ 30 and $ 50 off the purchase price of the devices; if Amazon carries the same model over to its Kindle Fire, the end-user cost of the tablet could drop by as much as 25% to $ 149. Following an explosive launch quarter that saw Amazon’s Kindle Fire take an estimated 14% of the global tablet market after less then two months of availability, the tablet’s market share reportedly tumbled as Apple’s $ 399 iPad 2 extinguished Kindle Fire demand. With rumors surrounding a $ 200-$ 250 “iPad mini” heating up, an ad-supported Kindle Fire with a reduced price tag may help keep Amazon’s 7-inch tablet in the running.

Amazon shelves Silent Hill: Book of Memories until October

WayForward’s strange top-down multiplayer Vita game Silent Hill: Book of Memories appears to have been delayed again, with Amazon changing the release date from May 31 to the distant (but thematically appropriate) October 31. Other retailers don’t yet agree: GameStop says May 22, and GameFly has a terrifying “TBD” date.

At least Amazon’s $ 5 credit offer is active, if you pre-order the game in advance of its eventual release. And in other sort of good news, the soundtrack was released last month, so you can listen to that while you wait. We’re checking with Konami for an accurate release window.
