Apple has killed so much convenience over the years; I can remember wanting to buy a Kindle book on my iPhone a decade ago. Crazy that this persisted until today.

I hope this gets Google and Amazon to cut a deal soon. Not being able to buy Kindle books on Android is awful.

    What is wrong with buying them through either Kindle for Web or amazon.com?

    • foxyv 8 months ago

      Browsing for books on amazon.com is a bit of a pain on a small touch screen. Usually I get out the laptop and use the browser on it. The biggest pain point is when I finish a book and want the next in the series. I'll usually read about one book a day so it gets a bit annoying. I've mostly switched back to my really old Kindle.
