You need to integrate LVL in your code, applying the Amazon DRM is a
just a matter of checking the appropriate checkbox when you upload your
apk. They slap it on you binary automatically. Not too much details have
been disclosed, but apparently it works in a similar fashion as LVL: it checks
in with their server and gets a token with a certain lifetime. When it expires,
it needs to check in again. It uses the Amazon Appstore binary on your phone
to connect to Amazon's servers and verify your license. There is no way
to customize it, and it has been broken ages ago. If you search on xda or
similar someone has probably posted the details.
