Amazon has dropped the word on the Kindle development kit today, which has been a pretty hot topic over the past several days. This move was inevitable, given the success of the iPhone App Store.

Developers get 70% of the net revenue (after delivery fees of $0.15/MB) from Kindle app sales, and 3 pricing options are in place: free, one-time purchase, monthly subscription.
