Very slow. It took ages (2-3 weeks?, can't be sure because there is
no timeline for status changes) to get approved. Hopefully updates
will get approved faster. Not exactly 'something for nothing', because
I had to create a separate build for the Amazon store since my app links
to another app, and I had to disable that until the other app is approved,
which only happened a few days ago. Now I have to replace Android
market links with Amazon links and release an update.

All three apps are free, but maybe the problem is that the Amazon
store is US only, and my apps are mostly popular in Asia. On the
other hand, the reference category has less than 100 apps, so
less competition :)

To sum up, I'm still not convinced that publishing to Amazon is
worth the trouble. Since it's free for a year, there's still some time
to see what happens.
