So, here is some history on how this amazing web app came to be: Just last year, Apple implemented a new policy, which requires that Apple gets a 30% cut of all profits from in-app stores. Amazon was not okay with this, so they chose not to comply with the policy, and instead created their own app. Therefore, the web app hasn’t been included in the original Kindle application for iOS or iPad.
It was the best decision that Amazon could have made, as it is an amazing app. The best part is, since it pairs with the Cloud Reader, you will get the full Kindle experience, which includes reading, purchasing, and your own virtual library to browse through.
Any big-time book lover would be crazy not to be excited about this amazing, new app! So, what are you waiting for? Go check it out and see just how much you love it!
