Yea, Or they knew about the free app of the day and made a special farming one that's essentially the ad version minus displayed ads.

I find it crazy the permissions required even from paid apps. And of course amazon does not tell you them until AFTER you bought and downloaded the app.

Right from the technical details on that page (scroll about 1/3 of the way down):

"Application Permissions: (Help me understand what permissions mean) Read only access to phone state. Get information about the currently or recently running tasks: a thumbnail representation of the tasks, what activities are running in it, etc. Write to external storage. Open network sockets. Access information about networks."
