How To Buy Books From Kindle Store On Ipad |
Step 1: Accept the App's App-titude (or Lack Thereof)
Here's the thing: the Kindle app is like a really cool library that only lets you admire the books, not check them out. Yes, you can't directly purchase ebooks within the app. But don't worry, this isn't some elaborate conspiracy by Amazon to hoard all the good reads for themselves. There's a method to the madness!
