iPhone is actually better than the Kindle reader device itself. It is, for that matter, the best eBook Reader. Naturally, most of the books that you’d want to read on Kindle will be chargeable. And there is a specific way to buy them. Let me guide you through how to buy Kindle books on iPhone.
Why am I calling iPhone the best eBook reader? It is because iPhone can run many eBook apps like Kindle. So, a book not available on Kindle doesn’t mean that you have to go for a physical copy. You can try other eBook reading platforms using your iPhone. Having said that, Kindle is the Facebook of eBook apps. And every eBook reader love Kindle. The catch is that to read a Kindle book, you need to buy it first and have it installed on your iPhone.
You can’t buy Kindle books directly from the app. You cannot even buy it from the Amazon shopping app. Do you know how to buy Kindle books on iPhone? Through a browser. You are free to choose any browser you prefer.
