How to Buy Kindle Books on iPhone and iPad

Amazon, the giant of eBook & eReader, has provided over 6 million Kindle books for purchasing. To download and read Kindle books on iPhone and iPad, Amazon released Kindle apps for IOS, one is Kindle for iPhone and the other is Kindle for iPad, so it is not that necessary to purchase a Kindle E-reader if you only want to read on iOS. The entire purchasing, downloading, and reading process can be completed on iPhone or iPad.

That’s because Apple’s In-App Purchase system takes a 30% cut from all purchases that are processed through the app store. Amazon thinks it is not a cost-effective way to sell books on Kindle for iPhone/iPad and Amazon app. On Kindle for iPhone/iPad, there is no Kindle eBook store. On Amazon app, we can find Kindle eBooks but it will show “This app does not support purchasing”. Therefore, purchases for iPhone and iPad had to be made through a web browser.
