Maybe it's time for an HTML5 based Kindle app. From a customer point of view I wouldn't care as long as the functionality is the same.
However, a main issue with this would be the limit space available via HTML5 databases on the ipad - afaik something like 25 megabytes.
- danielsoneg 16y agoThat's not a terribly big limitation - ebooks are pretty small files, generally in the .5-1mb range. Conservatively, let's call it 20 active books on the app - if you do some decent database management or incorporate some streaming ability, 25mb should be plenty.
- kmfrk 16y agoYou won't know about what you lose in sales in terms of discoverability on the App Store - it's easy to see it from your own perspective (mine is the same), but the iPad attracts such a wide demographic that you may very well shut out some newbies from using and buying your service. HTML5 don't always play nice with app-switching either, but maybe I've just not used enough HTML5 "apps".
