Ask HN: How to stop Google Play Store from replacing apps from other app stores
4 by daggersandscars | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I had Amazon Kindle installed from the Google Play Store. Amazon removed book purchases from the Google Play version of Kindle. One can still buy books from the Amazon Appstore version of Kindle. * I uninstalled Kindle from Google Play * I installed the Amazon Appstore * I installed Kindle from Amazon Appstore Direct book purchasing restored. Every few weeks, the Google Play store uninstalls Kindle from the Amazon Appstore and installs its version. Being able to use multiple app stores is (imo) Android's primary appeal. If Google Play can arbitrarily replace apps with its own, that's a serious problem. How do I stop this from happening? I have verified this -- when it happens, going to Amazon Appstore -> My Apps lists Kindle (Not from Amazon).
