Free apps sometimes try to rope you into in-app purchases to make a profit. Not so with Amazon's new approach to free software, though, as the online retailer is offering over $10,000 in apps, games and even those in-app add-ons at no cost. Yes, it sounds too good to be true on the surface, but Bezos & Co. will compensate developers based on how long you use their apps. Amazon will shell out per-minute payments in exchange for developers nixing any fees, which means for the software is free to download and use.

You have to sign-up for an Amazon account to use Underground, and Amazon will probably display products like MicroSD Memory cards which are on sale at Amazon.com on the Amazon Underground app which causes you to buy cheap MicroSD cards and other products on Amazon.
