It is, in some ways, a small things, but I'm really looking forward to the integrated Kindle book store in the android app. As far as I understand, Apple wants a 30% cut of in-app purchases, which caused Amazon to not add an integrated book store in the iPhone Kindle app. I think little things like this can add up to a lot of convenience over time and over many apps.

This has been pretty obviously coming for a while, since Amazon has been talking about their upcoming Android tablet and its Kindle support. Still, it's great to see that this is a) still coming and b) not going to be restricted arbitrarily to a single tablet.<p>This, combined with the Notion Ink Adam whatever tablet (due sometime this lifetime) will definitely push me to drop the "real" Kindle.<p>*Edit: I was thinking of the Dell Mini 5 (aka Streak) tablet with the Amazon partnership, actually. So not an official Amazon tablet, but effectively the same as far as content apps.

I wonder, does Kindle for non-Kindles also run Kindle apps? I just tried to search for Kindle Apps on Amazon, which was a bit difficult (as some books also have "games" in their title). It seems apps are just mingled with the books - maybe apps basically are books? So they should work?
