Why would Amazon do that? No one knows how many kindle books are actually bought from the app or kindle it self. I for one like to browse the amazon website, check out reviews and such before I plunge in.
In simpler terms: if people buy from their website or kindle. Fine. If people buy from the apps, ok, it's 30% less, but it's still a sale.
If amazon pulls their app, they lose a potential market. 30% less on a sale is still much, much better than no sale at all.
