Amazon Thursday announced the release of software development tools for its Kindle e-reader that will let developers create and eventually sell their own applications for the device. Amazon’s launch of Kindle apps comes only days before the expected debut of Apple’s tablet computer, likely to be the Kindle’s most formidable competitor to date. It also comes a day after Amazon said it was hiking the royalty rate for authors for each e-book sold via the Kindle to 70% — the same rate Apple pays developers on app sales through iTunes.
