Now she has to click on the "manage my kindle" option, go through the username and password routine, choose "read now", and then the book will finally open.
Any hints for returning to the original behaviour?

Thanks, Paul
I used the 'Kindle Store' link to launch Safari (there is no 'Kindle Store app' as such, Apple would not allow that), so it loaded the iPad optimized Kindle Store interface rather than 'Amazon full site'. When I purchased a book, it offered a choice to read the book in either the Kindle app or Cloud reader. When I picked the Kindle app, it launched the Kindle app. However, I had to download it from Cloud manually. Maybe I didn't allow enough time for the sync to do this. But in any case, it did launch the app as requested. I did not get redirected to manage your kindle in other words.

Note that the Kindle app should be registered to the same Amazon account as the purchase was made with, or this will not work.
