Fundamentally it doesn't, that's why I refereed it as a slippery slope in my first post on the thread, though I did not immediately think of the Kindle app as an example.
In the Kindle case there is even more of an incentive as Apple has their own iBooks store, and there is the pesky term in their Developer agreement that apps cannot replicate core functionality.
