For the first time ever, Amazon Kindle users on iOS can tap a button to buy books

SMRTR summary

Apple has eased App Store restrictions following a court ruling, allowing developers to include external links for purchases. The Kindle app now lets users search Amazon's bookstore and redirects them to buy books in a browser, improving user-friendliness without in-app purchases. This change could create new expectations for app functionality, potentially causing issues for Apple if reversed later.
