Apple has killed so much convenience over the years; I can remember wanting to buy a Kindle book on my iPhone a decade ago. Crazy that this persisted until today.
I hope this gets Google and Amazon to cut a deal soon. Not being able to buy Kindle books on Android is awful.

What is wrong with buying them through either Kindle for Web or amazon.com?

Browsing for books on amazon.com is a bit of a pain on a small touch screen. Usually I get out the laptop and use the browser on it. The biggest pain point is when I finish a book and want the next in the series. I'll usually read about one book a day so it gets a bit annoying. I've mostly switched back to my really old Kindle.
