As first reported by the nytimes and ars technica, it appears that Apple wants a cut of Amazon and Sony's e-book sales (at least those purchased using an iOS app).
Uh uh. This means higher prices for Kindle e-books if purchased through the iPhone or iPad Kindle app. Solutions for people who like buying e-books from Amazon?
a. Buy the Kindle, instead of using the iPhone or the iPad Kindle app; or
b. Buy e-books through iBooks; or
c. Buy Android-based devices instead and install the Kindle app there; or
d. Buy e-books through the Kindle desktop app and read them using their iPad or iPhone.
Let's see how Amazon responds. Nice discussion over at gdgt as well.
