Amazon vs Apple Has Gone Too Far

February 8th, 2010

I received a message from Amazon this morning letting me know that the Kindle Developer Kit application process was ready for the general public. I clicked the link and was taken to the KDK site, only to be told that Safari isn’t supported.

Amazon was nice enough to give me a link to download Internet Explorer, so at least their user agent sniffing is tuned to perfection!

  • Oh, Nick - I was just joking about the rivalry. Nobody is that petty... well, Apple, maybe.

    That's less corporate haterade and more web-dev-lazy-itis. FF or IE required has become the modern day "IE required. "

    My chrome build gets yelled at too.

    You'd expect better from Amazon though.
