I'm sure some of you will be getting this email shortly, or already had it. FYI to others out there.
Dear Developer,
Thank you for your participation in the Appstore Developer Select Program (ADS). Effective February 15, 2015, we will be discontinuing the program. All apps qualifying for ADS prior to February 15, 2015 will continue to receive their mobile ad impressions, Amazon Coins, and AWS credits benefits through March 31, 2015.
We encourage you to visit our Developer Portal to learn more about the many ways you can engage and delight customers using Amazon’s services. You’ll find information about Amazon Web Services, Amazon’s In-App Purchasing and Mobile Ads APIs, the Amazon Coins program, opportunities such as the “Free App of the Day” program, as well as other self-service promotional capabilities through the Developer Promotions Console. We also offer technical tips, guidance on the different ways developers can distribute their apps, and discovery and monetization best practices on the Appstore Developer blog.
Thank you for your continued support of the Amazon Appstore. If you have questions, please contact us.
Best Regards,
Amazon Apps & Services Distribution Team

Yea i got it earlier today, i don't really think that i will miss it.
So the Amazon App Store is being discontinued? Is the ADS something separate?
Just developer select ( the 500k free ad impressions).
Actually one of my apps did better without the additional impressions. Was featured too and had zero impact on downloads. Amazon wanted people to use their own SDK/Ads service now and its all become a bit silly anyway.
Good thing I still got 4 apps into Select.
