    Good stuff, thanks.

    Tried the amazon app store before and it wouldnt let me download anything as I was in Ireland.

    Looks like angry birds just downloaded fine though

    Just downloaded and installed the Amazon app... logged in with my account, clicked on what I wanted to download, clicked on orange "free" button, it turned to green "get app" button, clicked on that it changed to "purchasing" then "downloading", then the install screen.

    can you be more specific?

    everything happens that you say right up to the "downloading" part and then it goes back to saying "free" and the page freezes

    Hmmm.....

    Try purchasing from here:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/mobile-apps/b/ref=topnav_storetab_mas?ie=UTF8&node=1661657031

    and installing using this method?

    Thanks for that. Working now:cool:

    I can also confirm that once I downloaded the first app using alastair's method, I can now download apps directly from the Amazon app store.

    Is this the same as the play store as in once you purchase the free app can you download to another device some time in the future ?

    Nice one Allyall! Had one or two already but I just got all the rest...sure they're free! :) All except the Pacman one which I couldn't "buy" due to "geographical restrictions".

    Using the app
    I had the same problem found out that when it fails just hit the back button then hit
    the download button again and it will download. By the way are you using wifi?

    Totally OT but how do you use the mp3 credit? I've been getting loads down the years but when I try to use it I get some "UK only" malarkey. Is there some nefarious method of...um... "bypassing" this restriction?

    Make up a UK address or use one you know of, and choose that as your "delivery address" to download.

    No. They do an app of the day every day which is free and sometimes it's good. Just check everyday. or we could do a rolling thread here for free app of the day from Amazon?
