I mean, that other extension is by Amazon itself. If they want Google to feature it, they can literally throw all the money and Kindles at them they want - no magic required. Money buys stuff. More news at 5. People seem to forget that Google is still a marketing company. This is precisely their business model.

it kind of implies that google might have a kindle that amazon sent them to test the other app?
Hot take here but maybe, just maybe, there's more than 1 reviewer, even dispersed across different offices.
We don't know if Amazon said they can keep it. And even if they did, whether or not Google actually chose to keep it in storage for potential later use. Or if they even sent them one in the first place instead of just outright buying the "featured" plaque.
thus I say "might". idk why either of those companies deserve your time giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I don't care about the companies, I was merely pointing out that this is pretty much just another made up drama for the blogger feeder. So noone should care about this post either.
