Comments on: Amazon developing ad-supported Kindle tablet, sources say http://macdailynews.com/2012/08/31/amazon-developing-ad-supported-kindle-tablet-sources-say/ Apple and Mac News Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:47:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: chefpastry http://macdailynews.com/2012/08/31/amazon-developing-ad-supported-kindle-tablet-sources-say/comment-page-1/#comment-1030608 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 05:09:34 +0000 http://macdailynews.com/?p=89035#comment-1030608 Apple should make an iTunes app for Android. If Amazon/Google refuse to allow it on their Android Market, Apple can sue them for being anti-comptetive or it could pave the way for allowing Apple to remove Kindle app, etc from the Appel App Store. Seems like win-win to me.

IOW: Amazon STILL won’t make a profit on the Kindle Fire replacement model. And of course they will continue to be wimpy in comparison to an iPad as well as a market failure. Something isn’t quite right over there at Amazon. 8O

They had offered every model either with or without ads. The ad-free version was $30 less.

No dignity, just slaves paying for their own abuse.

Step 2: no ads

They better have something in-place to stop that.

And, they are going to ask people to actually pay something for this?
Dam… am I glad I’m not an apple hater and can just ignore this kind of nonsense.

There will always be a way to filter them and impairing your users experience in order to sell them stuff isn’t a great way of earning loyalty.
