images-screenshots-captures-amazon-appstore-logo-21032011_00B4000000001978In what might be the closest sign yet we've seen to Amazon preparing to launch the Kindle Fire tablet outside of the U.S., Amazon is finally launching its Android apps Appstore in Europe. The first markets to come online will be the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, the company noted today in an announcement. The news comes in the same week that its U.S. rival Barnes & Noble announced its first retail partner for its own push outside of the U.S. -- it will be partnering with John Lewis in the UK. Amazon itself has signed a deal with the UK bookseller Waterstones to distribute its Kindle products both in stores and online.
