Most likely, at least for purchasing the books, you will have to go to
the site. Apple's policy is, if you want to sell something within your
application, you have to go through our system so we get our 30 percent
of the purchase. If you decide you don't want to do that, you cannot
provide a way to direct users to another place to make in app purchases
within the app itself.

Do you have to go to the store on the amazon site, or can you download
the books from the app itself? and, if you do have to go to the store
on the amazon site, will your books show up in the app?
thanks,

There are loads of free Kindle books. The usual classic such as Sherlock
Holmes etc.
Just go to the Kindle store on the Amazon web site.

Hello all
great news about the Kindle iOS app but is there a free book out there I can
try? Don't want to buy a Kindle book to start with plus I am not an avid
reader anyway. Cheers!

As an update on my last post I did not hear the prompt for double tap
for menu.
It is not then necessary to go to the Home screen to get to controls.
You simply double tap anywhere on the reading pane to bring up the menu.
I now think that the app is very good.
The even better news is that I loaded Bad Science - book in which
speech has not been enabled on the physical Kindle and it read fine
under voiceover. It appears therefore that there is universal access
to Text to Speech under the Kindle iOS app.

Subject: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
Kindle has announced that it has made the iOS app accessible to voiceover.
I have just tried the app and I think there may be limited cause for
celebration.
It is certainly possible to now download a kindle book and have
Voiceover start reading the text of the book with a 2 finger upwards
swipe.
In this sense it resembles ibooks.
The fact that Voiceover can read the Kindle text now is certainly a
major advance.
In one sense the app appears clunky though. I could find no easy way
of exiting the book reading window within the App.
A work around appears to press the Home Key and then re enter the
Kindle App from the Home Screen. On re-entering the app you appear to
be put into a window which allows bookmarking and navigation of the
Book you are reading by percentage. There is also a button to return
to reading the book and a Home button to return to your library where you
can download your books.
It would be far easier if there was a button accessible to Voiceover
which could return you to this screen without having to exit to the
iOS Home Screen. b
It will need a little more experimentation but limited celebration
seems merited.
If anybody else finds a way around the awkward moving from the
reading pane to the app Home screen and book controls please post.
