Every decision is two-sided. On the one hand, Apple took away the ability to make in-app purchases that were not cleared by their own store. This gave customers protection against apps that might collect and abuse their financial information. But this protection came at the cost of usability for people who wished to use apps for purchasing.
Frankly, I don't find the current arrangement that bothersome. I don't buy eBooks that often, and using a browser works just fine for me for those times when I do.
