Think about this from Apple point of view, the Kindle app is free, uses Apple infrastructure, and Apple get nothing out of it, besides the increased usefulness of their devices (which isn't tiny).
I can understand them wanting to get something for this. I am not saying that this is what they believe, because I still think it is crazy.

Yeah, that's right. Even fucking Microsoft is more level-headed and market friendly than Apple.
