| How To Buy Kindle Books On Ipad Uk |
The Great In-App Purchase Fiasco (or Why Clicking "Buy" Won't Do the Trick)
Here's the thing: unlike a cheeky Nandos, you can't just waltz into the Kindle app and expect to walk out with a new book. In-app purchases are a bit of a no-go zone. It's all to do with those pesky app store fees, you see. Amazon would rather have a cup of tea (or perhaps a spot of whole bean coffee, being American and all) than share their profits. So, how do we quench our literary thirst?
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
The Browser is Your New Best Mate (Well, Almost)
Here's where things get interesting. Grab your iPad and that trusty web browser of yours (Safari, most likely). Now, navigate to the wonderful world of [Amazon.co.uk], but be a good sort and avoid tapping on any pop-ups that try to whisk you away to the Amazon app. We're going old school here.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
The Amazon A-List: Finding Your Next Literary Adventure

The All-Important "Buy Now" Button (and Other Fun Stuff)
Once you've found your chosen ebook, it's time to make it yours! Look for the glorious "Buy Now" button (because honestly, who can resist that sweet, sweet instant gratification?).
