Apple rejects the Sony’s Reader app, doesn’t want you to buy the content from others. The tightening of Apple’s grip on the App store was a topic worth discussing, but they brought it back to the forefront by rejecting Sony’s Reader app for iOS. The reasons that given by Apple to Sony were Apple will no longer buy applications that permit in-app purchases of the content that won’t go through Apple itself. They will not tolerate the apps that access content purchased through external content stores.

So, the Sony Reader is out?, wait doesn’t the Kindle app do the same things. No answer has been given by Apple and Amazon until now. While Sony’s Reader Store page describes it as an impasse and promises to seek other venues to bring the Reader experience to Apple Mobile devices. You can get the Reader app for Android or just read your e-books on a device dedicated to that task.
