You can do anything you want through the web browser.

Ah, but that's the thing, Apple now says you can't take users out of your app into a web browser to sign up for a subscription. This is exactly what they're supposedly going to say to the ebook stores as well.

But also, sure you can do whatever you want through the browser, but there's a reason people want apps: because they work better. The Amazon app on my phone is dangerously good because of how easy it is to browse products smile At this rate I wouldn't put it past Apple to ask for 30% of those products on their iPhone version.

I don't know how this will affect Kindle, because the new rules are subscription-specific as far as I know. We'll have to see.

I was saying there's already been talk about this. The Sony reader has already been rejected from the app store, with rumors that this is why it was rejected as a new app.
