It looks like the Amazon Appstore for Android is finally rolling out across the world, following its US-only launch earlier in the year. Reports are appearing from a variety of sources in the UK, Australia, the Netherlands and India suggesting that customers in these countries can now directly download the Appstore and use it to install free or paid apps.

There’s still no official link to the Amazon Appstore on any international Amazon sites, but we found that visiting by visiting www.amazon.com/app-email on our phones, we were able to download the app and sign in using Amazon UK login details. From there, we were able to download the free Kindle app and the paid Angry Birds app from the UK without any issues, as you’ll see in the shots above. It should be noted that prices are still charged in US dollars, so if you’re oversees then your card provider may charge an additional fee to handle transactions in a foreign currency.

If you’re anywhere that’s not the United States, then be sure to try directly installing the app from the link in this post (you’ll need to enable non-Market apps first), and let us know how you fare in the comments.
