Hey , kid , think back all the direction back in February when you were reading about Apple ’s new subscription rules and just about suffocate on those heart - shaped Valentine candy you ’d bought yourself but pretended came from your secret admirer ? “ Whaff abouff dah Kindle ? ! ” you blurt , spit sugar laced with carcinogenic dyestuff at the screen door of your Mac . Well , the other skid has dropped .
Yes , it ’s time to make clean off that sugary / chalky sum you exit on your screen in dissent of Apple ’s draconian rules and larn to bang again . saneness , or at least market place reality , has prevailed .
Apple hasdropped several restrictions , including the “ our way orthe WWW app highway ” restriction that would have affected Kindle purchases . The unexampled proviso take :
You ca n’t blame a girl for trying , but you could imagine how that conversation with Amazon went .
APPLE : Hey ! We ’d like 30 pct of all Kindle sale !
AMAZON : No .
APPLE : Please ?
APPLE : Come on .
APPLE : Pleeeeeeeeeaze ?
APPLE : Yes .
APPLE : Do it .
APPLE : DO . IT .
APPLE : DOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIT !
APPLE : ARRGH .
iterate for four months .
Amazon would still need to take away the Kindle Store release in gild to be in abidance with the accord and it ’s potential the company may decide it does n’t care that either . But even if you fuck iBooks , Apple ask the Kindle app . Of course , Amazon need the iPad , too , although credibly slightly less . The Macalope ’s pretty trusted they ’ll turn this out , though .
There ’s a divergence between think something puddle common sense forAppleand thinking it makes good sense for Apple customers and developer . This was clearly a case of the former .
So , thanks , Amazon . Really . Because maybe this gives some smaller app God Almighty more tractableness in making their business work . Plus , Apple should n’t get off witheverything .
