Where does this app store save the downloaded APK file? I have a problem where certain apps will only install when the sdcard is unmounted. The Amazon App store needs sdcard to be mounted

This is based on my EVO, but they appear to download into the Appstore's "private" external storage directory, which is /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache/. From what I've seen they appear to then get deleted after being installed, but anything which has been downloaded and not installed looks to be there.

Thanks for your answer @eldarerathis!

Looks like it might have changed slightly since then. On my Motorola Bionic I found the apk files /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/files/apks.

An update to one of my apps would download in the Amazon appstore but wouldn't install for whatever reason. So I clicked "download" in the app store, then immediately opened ESFile explorer, found the apk, waited for it to finish downloading (clicking "refresh" once in a while). Then I just clicked the apk there and it installed perfectly. Woot!
