E-Book Apps Comply to Apple�s Demands

Posted by newbie Tuesday, July 26, 2011 0 comments

A lot of shaking happened among e-book sellers as the iOS App Store imposed stricter rules over apps that directly compete with Apple�s very owniBooks , including the imposition of 30 percent tax on every in-app purchases. While some e-reader apps made some changes to deal with Apple�s charges, others opted to bolt out.
Nook Kids, for instance, no longer has a link provided in the app that enables users to purchase books from Barnes & Noble. The Kobo and Borders apps have also been modified to cope with the new rules. Meanwhile, Amazon�s Kindle app has removed its �Kindle Store button� and instead adds support for magazines and newspapers.
Another major shake-up was the removal of Google Books from the iTunes App Store. Google has yet to make a statement about this development, but it is possible that the app would be back with Apple�s compliance.
It has to be pointed out, however, that iPhone and iPad users can still purchase e-book content outside of iBooks through Safari or any browser.
