It is, in some ways, a small things, but I'm really looking forward to the integrated Kindle book store in the android app. As far as I understand, Apple wants a 30% cut of in-app purchases, which caused Amazon to not add an integrated book store in the iPhone Kindle app. I think little things like this can add up to a lot of convenience over time and over many apps.
- derwiki 16y agoI had no idea that was why -- I always thought it was an unnecessary pain in the bum to get a book on my iPod Touch from my iPod Touch. Thanks for the info!
- Tichy 16y agoCouldn't Amazon have built an integrated book store linked to the Amazon account, rather than to the iTunes account? Or is that kind of think also forbidden on iPhones? So basically all e-commerce apps would be out?
- hexis 16y agoI'm not an expert on this, but I believe that Apple's App Store agreement mandates that in-app purchases go through Apple.
