That said, I still miss the days when there was a button right in the Kindle app to take me to Amazon-and believe me, I haven’t started buying any more titles from the iBookstore as a result.After building your app in the mag+ Publish portal, you upload the build to the Amazon Developer Console and publish it. But in this case it was the consumers who were being caught in the crossfire, and the Kindle update may go some ways towards easing their pain and frustration. Following Cupertino’s rules about offering in-app purchases would likely be implausible for Amazon, both technologically (due to the huge volume of purchases) and practically (since Amazon most certainly doesn’t want to send a chunk of its revenue to one of its competitors). Granted, you still have to venture into a Web browser to buy the full book, but it’s a clever solution to the problem presented by Apple’s in-app purchase policy, and perhaps the best option for Amazon. When you finish reading one book, it’s only a swipe and a couple taps to download another free sample by the same author. You can also send yourself an email about a related book or even email yourself about the book you just finished, which will send you the URL for the book in Amazon’s store.

And when you’ve finished that book, it’s only a tap or two to download another sample by the same author, or add a related book to your Wish List.
