Ah, that stinks. That kind of inconsistency is very annoying. So you can't even have a link to your web based store (that's all that the kindle app really has now) in the application any more?
- glhaynes 15y agoYou can, but if you do you have to offer the same stuff at the same price via in-app purchase.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoNo, you can't have a link to the web store.
- glhaynes 15y agoHowever, Apple does require that if a publisher chooses to sell a digital subscription separately outside of the app, that same subscription offer must be made available, at the same price or less, to customers who wish to subscribe from within the app. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/02/15appstore.html http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/02/15appstore.html Also: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2535773 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2535773

- glhaynes 15y agoAhhh, I see now. Thank you! In addition, publishers may no longer provide links in their apps (to a web site, for example) which allow the customer to purchase content or subscriptions outside of the app.
