    I don’t understand how making Amazon use Apple’s payment mechanism (or “bow out”) addresses the problem of the Kindle app being cross-platform and making it easy to switch from iOS to Android. Can someone explain that to me?
    The idea was they would bow out and it would be difficult to buy through Amazon so you'd be more likely to buy from Apple. Apple books can't be read on Android, so switching would mean losing access to your books.
