Amazon’s Kindle App for the iPhone gets a re-light

Amazon appears to be making things a bit easier for the users of Kindle iPhone App by removing the need to buy books from Amazon’s site or through the Kindle itself. This is eased by taking the users of the app to an iPhone friendly book browser when you hit Get Books. This lets you search across close to 300,000 titles or filter your search via categorize. The changes are only up to this point and when you make a selection you are taken right to the book stores via Safari to make the purchase. That as always kills the purpose of the app itself and I guess Amazon should try and make things a whole lot easier. How? Well make purchasing directly from app possible. This can be beneficial and might just help people read more on the iPhone (though it won’t be anything close to the experience one might have on of the Kindle devices), especially for those who love reading books but can’t buy or don’t want to buy a dedicated device for the purpose.
