The In-App Illusion: Why We Can't Buy Directly (and No, it's Not About Tea and Crumpets)
Now, you might be thinking, "Surely there's a simple 'buy now' button in the Kindle app?" Well, buckle up for a spot of surprising trivia. Apple, in their infinite wisdom (and quest for a slice of the ebook pie), charges app developers a hefty fee for in-app purchases.
