All I had to do was browse for comics within the app and add the one I wanted to my wishlist. Then, I logged into comixology.com from 1Password, accessed my wishlist and then autofilled my credit card details.



    Yes, it's definitely a step back, but I don't think that Comixology users will abandon the platform en masse, especially if they're invested a lot in comics already.



    If Amazon wants to provide their own payments infrastructure and sidestep Apple's, somewhat inconveniencing users, then that's their right. If it's the wrong decision, I'm sure they'll have the metrics from lost customers to make it obvious.



    And, for the record, I do not agree with the ruling against Apple in the eBooks case, just in case you thought I was pro-Amazon.

     

    Then Amazon would be happy if Apple kicked them out of the Appstore for being the parasite that they are. They want the benefits of the iOS ecosystem (access to users) but they don't want to pay for it. Apple should just pull the plug on Amazon and Google the other parasitic squatter company.

    Nest is on it's way to being canceled, Google has no ability in hardware other than a facade of success.

    Amazon and Google are competing or trying to compete with Apple on several fronts it's time for Apple to cut them out of the Appstore and let them make it on their own instead grafting themselves into Apple. Apple isn't making software on their crappy ecosystems, there's no profit in it for anyone.

    A 12" iPad would look perfect on my desk. If I step outside, I'll grab a Mini or an Air to bring with me.


     

    I think your 12" iPad is coming but it will weigh about the same as a iPad Mini with more ram, so the best of both worlds. Within a year.
