Kindle is not a subscription service. The relevant clause would be about in-app purchases. But it wouldn't surprise me that Amazon threatened to pull off the platform, and more power to them. If I were Jeff Bezos I wouldn't be removing any buttons or links from my apps, either.

- recoiledsnake 15y agoYes, that is what Apple was doing.

- Terretta 15y agoI can't buy NetFlix in the app so it's not relevant. The problem was in app subscriptions or purchases.
