I don't think what you and others are implying is the case at all, I think it's pretty clear that the app store is being mismanaged and that the approval process is severely broken, but I don't think Apple is imposing it's oppressive will upon the masses. If that were the case, I think they would be more consistent.
I guess the real question is, did the other ebook readers currently in the App Store that allow access to the same material slip through the cracks, or was this a case of an over zealous App Store employee making a mistake?
- paulgb 17y agoI've been thinking this since before this case. It's not just the isolated cases that make me think it, but also: - The NDA that lasted way too long and frustrated a lot of people working on articles, books, or projects they wanted to open-source. - The fact that these app store rejection stories have been happening for a long time now and Apple has apparently done little to address them. - The fact that there is evidently no good appeal process. - That small developers get shafted while big developers get there apps in. Why was the Kindle accepted and Eucalyptus not? Maybe it was that Kindle got sent to a lenient reviewer and Eucalyptus to a strict one, but the fact that Amazon is a large company and Eucalyptus appears to have a single developer seems more likely.
- tvon 17y ago"(...) but the fact that Amazon is a large company and Eucalyptus appears to have a single developer seems more likely." I think that's nonsense. There are a lot of small-shop ebook readers on the iPhone, Stanza and eReader are two that come to mind, but there are many more.
