I ended up having to use an Apple device temporarily after my previous phone died. While there are things I really enjoy about Apple, the lack of choice is a dealbreaker for me.
I can't buy a kindle book through the app on my device, because iBooks.
Added: Ended up back on an Android device pretty quickly.
- doctoboggan 7y agoActually you can buy the kindle book, you just have to use the web browser (not ideal I know, but just letting you know in case you find yourself in that position again)
- michaelmrose 7y agoIt's possible to strip drm from kindle and other books to avoid getting tied to a platform by prior purchases. https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools
- vertis 7y agoAbsolutely, and I do this when buying from Kindle. I don't consider Kindle to be perfect either, but it's still MY choice to make, not Apples. If I want to buy from Kobo or from Kindle, why should I have to do that in a web browser or on my desktop.
- benhurmarcel 7y ago> because iBooks It's not because of iBooks, it's because Amazon would have to pay 30% to Apple if they sold through the app.
