Amazon Appstore now accepts web apps

The Amazon Appstore is no longer just for native Android apps -- starting now, the retailer will also take HTML5-based web apps. Developers can build content using any off-the-shelf tools; Amazon wraps whatever they create in a format that's friendly to those using the Kindle Fire or other Android devices. Publishers who want to integrate more closely with Amazon can also integrate the retailer's in-app purchasing through JavaScript code. Only a handful of web apps are available at launch, including TreSensa's Happy Tree Friends: Run & Bun, an IGN video game news app and Spil Games' Dream Pet Link, but web app developers who want to bolster Amazon's catalog can visit the source link.
