More Apple/Kindle, Still Some ?

[bryant]

Apple said something somewhat confusing that nonetheless implies that the way in which they enforce the rules has changed. Gruber summarizes. If Apple means what they seem to mean, that’s alarming. Also difficult to enforce. If Amazon removes the store button from the Kindle app, but still sells Kindle books pushed to the iPad via their Web site, is the Kindle app still offering the customers the ability to purchase books outside the app? I can buy ePub books from various sources without involving Stanza, and then download ‘em to Stanza. Does this violate anything?

This wouldn’t have happened when Jobs was around.

That’s a joke.

Mostly.

Man, I was hoping David Gruber Allen had a tech blog.

This is kind of troublesome for me... I wanted to use the ipad as a stanza platform.

I'm hoping today's Apple event clarifies.
