Summary
Apple’s court ruling has allowed companies like Amazon to simplify the purchase of books on the Kindle e-reader, with a prominent "Get Book" button now enabling direct purchases via mobile web browsers. Despite Apple complying with the ruling temporarily, this update marks a significant shift from earlier attempts by Sony, who released eReaders without book-purchasing capabilities, relying instead on a discontinued service to facilitate ebook transactions. Now, users can more easily buy books directly from theirKindles when Wi-Fi isn't available, though there's still uncertainty if Apple might overturn the ruling, reverting users back to an inconvenient process.
