The Verge\u2019s Andrew Liszewski reports that Amazon\u2019s Kindle app for iOS now provides a button to go get an ebook<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\n Contrary to prior limitations, there is now a prominent orange \u201cGet book\u201d button on Kindle app\u2019s book listings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regularly make improvements to our apps to help ensure we are providing customers the most convenient experience possible,\u201d Amazon spokesperson Tim Gillman told The Verge over email. \u201cBy selecting \u2018Get Book\u2019 within the Kindle for iOS app, customers can now complete their purchase through their mobile web browser.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Kindle
The Kindle app (left) now has a Get Book button, but you still can\u2019t buy Kindle books in the Amazon app (right). For now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Honestly, I\u2019m not sure I ever thought I\u2019d see the day. I confirmed this for myself: clicking the Get Book link takes you out to Safari to the page for the book on Amazon\u2019s site. No muss, no fuss.<\/p>\n

Notably, this is the Kindle<\/em> app, not the Amazon<\/em> app. In the latter, you still\u2014for the moment\u2014see a note that \u201cthis app does not support purchasing of this content.\u201d I\u2019m intrigued as to why Amazon chose to do one but not the other\u2014I rarely open the Kindle app unless I already have a book I\u2019m reading; it\u2019s the Amazon app I turn to for shopping. But perhaps this is Amazon\u2019s way of nudging people towards the Kindle app as their literal one-stop shop.<\/p>\n

Out of curiosity, I checked Kobo\u2019s app as well, which acts as both the reader and storefront for that site, and there\u2019s now a Get Book link there as well, though it pops up a separate panel and shows Apple\u2019s (now prohibited) scare screen about leaving the app and going to an external website.<\/p>\n

As I said in my previous post about the injunction against Apple<\/a>, I think this development is ultimately a huge benefit to Apple\u2019s customers. Figuring out how to do the dance to buy ebooks was annoying for people who knew what they were doing<\/em>, and if you ever had the \u201cpleasure\u201d of trying to explain to a layperson that they had to go to the web to buy an ebook, well, you\u2019ll not only know how much of a pain it was but also how the only explanation you could realistically provide for why<\/em> this was the case was \u201cApple wants more money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Kobo
The Kobo app also now lets you get a book, but downloading it takes several steps and still (as of this writing) shows Apple\u2019s scare screen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How long this new normal will last is anyone\u2019s guess, but again, though Apple has already appealed the court\u2019s decision, it\u2019s hard to imagine the company being able to roll this back\u2014the damage, in many ways, is already done and to reverse course would look immensely and transparently hostile to the company\u2019s own customers: \u201cwe want your experience to be worse so we get more of the money we think we deserve.\u201d Not a great look.<\/p>\n
