Amazon Appstore Now Accepts HTML5 Apps

0

The Amazon Appstore is going beyond Android. Developers can now submit their web applications on Kindle Fire and select Android devices through Amazon. They can generate revenue through in-app purchasing. As long as you know your HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, you can build and publish quality web apps for the Kindle platform.

Amazon Mobile App Distribution program now enables you to distribute your web apps on Kindle Fire and select Android devices in nearly 200 countries across the globe … You can build apps for the Kindle platform using open web technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, leveraging Amazon’s GPU-accelerated web app runtime for seamless performance.

This is a great move by Amazon. Amazon’s Appstore does not have as many apps as Google Play or iOS App Store, so this move will help Amazon differentiate it from other top app stores. Planning to write web apps for Kindle? Make sure you get the Web App Tester and see Amazon’s Best Practices.
