Amazon dodges iPad rules with a web-based Kindle reader

Amazon has launched a browser-based version of its Kindle eBook application called the Kindle Cloud Reader. The software is optimised for iPad tablets, but directs customers to Amazon’s own eBook store instead of using Apple’s purchasing system. This avoids the 30 percent charge on in-app purchases levied by Apple. The launch follows recent changes to Apple’s terms that forced Amazon and others to remove direct purchasing links in their native iPad programs.
