Thanks for clarifying this, Grant. I have noticed that I've seen more in-app purchases for other material and not as many, if any, for books, so this would seem to clarify this issue. Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers. On Nov 28, 2012, at 4:15 PM, Grant Hardy wrote: > Te

Teresa, In-app purchasing definitely exists and it's very popular. You can use it, say, to upgrade from List Recorder's Lite version to the pro version. But Apple does take a cut of all the profits, so if, say, Audible.com offered in-app purchasing of its titles, that would equate to a pretty sig

Good too know Mary. I will check for these books searching for under fibe dollar books. As someone else said, though, the best is we now can check in both places and get the book at the cheapest price. As for putting into categories, I guess if I got a lot of books that would be a problem for me

I'm not sure what your question related to, "does iBooks do the same? Yes, they have books under $5. And yes, you can delete a book from a device and get it back later if you wish. One thing I really like about ibooks is the ability to organize your books in categories. You can't do that on the

I don't think you will find in app purchasing for Nook; thank you Apple. Remember when you use to be able to buy books from the Audible app by linking directly to their store? Apple's insistence on taking a cut of all such sales caused folks like Audible and, I suspect Amazon and B&N as well, no
