Gang, howdy:
To be clear, it's not just direct links that Apple won't allow. It's...deeper than that. We are very fortunate in our client list, in that some of our clients are quite well-known. One of them--our biggest "name," without doubt, we'll call him/her Author #1--recently had an advert or "flyer" you might call it, at the back of her latest ePUB. This flyer linked to the website of author #2. Now, at author #2's website, there's a link to buy his/her book--which is only available at Amazon. So...at least two degrees of separation, right?
Apple had a cow. The client's "people" had to get on the phone with Apple to get it solved, basically by simply stating that if Apple wanted Author #1's book, they had to suffer the slings and arrows of Author #2 having the audacity to sell his/her book wherever s/he wanted.
Trust me: this sort of thing happens all the time with them. "Walled garden" doesn't do it justice.
