I'm not expecting Amazon to hand out money to developers. But, as a developer* , I don't want to put myself in a situation where my work (that I would have otherwise charged for) is being given away for free.

Conversely, as a user, if there aren't quality free apps in the amazon store, why would I use it in the first place? I can get the same content from the built-in Market.

So, from both a developer and user standpoint I see no reason why Amazon should "take over Android app distribution".

* Hypothetical, I don't develop for mobile at this time.
