Fuck Amazon! Or apple? Or both? I don’t know...

I just wanted to read a book on my iPad using the kindle app. I can read a free excerpt from the book but when I decided that I wanted to buy the book, I couldn’t. Not from within the kindle app nor the amazon app.

I read on the internet that it has something to do with the greediness of apple and that they want an astronomical cut from the sales. So amazon decided that they wouldn’t sell ebooks in the iOS-Apps.

I had to get my android phone and buy the book using the app I’ve installed there. I could’ve also opened the amazon webpage in my browser.

Fucking retards, I just want to read! And the worst thing is, I don’t even really know whom to blame!

Anyways, now I can read the book (zum Leben ist es schön aber ich würde da ungern auf Besuch hinfahren by Tilman birr if anybody is interested)

    Hard to blame Amazon for not giving into the greedy cunts at Apple.

    I would go with blaming apple

    Apple takes a cut of all in-app purchases. Amazon doesn't want to pay that cut, so no in-app purchases for iOS kindle users. Both companies are at fault here, just for different things.

    The workaround is to buy it online, it gets added to your kindle library, then open it in the iOS app. Don’t like it? Well disrupt Apple and Amazon
