Amazon just rolled out a ‘Get Book’ button in the Kindle app for iOS, and honestly, it’s a game-changer for anyone who’s ever lost their place searching for a book online. Now, with a quick tap, you’re whisked away to Amazon’s site for a painless 1-Click buy, then zapped right back to your reading. No more wild goose chases across the web—just more time with your nose in a book. 😊
This slick move comes hot on the heels of a court telling Apple they can’t skim a 27% cut off the top for purchases made outside the App Store. (Talk about a plot twist!) Amazon, never one to miss a beat, jumped on the opportunity to make buying books less of a chore. Sure, you still have to hop over to a browser, but it’s a heck of a lot smoother than the old way.
And Amazon’s not alone. Spotify’s now nudging users toward external subscriptions, and Epic Games is plotting Fortnite’s grand return to iOS with its own shopping lane. Apple’s not thrilled, though—they’re fighting the ruling tooth and nail, calling it an existential threat to their App Store empire.
For us bookworms, this means less fuss and more pages turning. The Kindle app’s latest trick might not be flawless, but it’s a step in the right direction. Stay tuned—this story’s far from over.
