After Apple rejected Sony’s ereader app for the iPad this past week, there were a lot of rumors flying around that the Kindle app might be getting killed on Apple devices as well. Fortunately for any of you who have an iPhone or iPad, that is not the case!
Apple does not allow any app to have a store built into the app itself, and Sony’s app had just that. Many thought it was going away because Apple did not want the competition with their current iBooks setup. However, it simply violated the rules for the app store.
The Kindle app does not work in the same way as the Sony app and does not violate those rules. When you buy a book through the Kindle app, it simply takes you to the web, where you buy the book that are then uploaded to the app.
So, no worries for those of you who read your Kindle books on your iPhone or iPad – they are there to stay!
