Until recently I would browse kindle books on my Mac then order them to be delivered straight to my kindle.
My Mac is now broken so using an old iPad.
I can still browse but not order and deliver them for some reason.

Searching on the kindle is very time consuming, if there's a way round it I'd love to know?

Are you using the app? It should work fine through safari

Is it the amazon website or the amazon app?

I have never used the app but usually just go to the Amazon website on my IPad and order books to be sent to my kindle from there. I just tried installing the app and agree it doesn’t work.

You need to access Amazon through safari, then it works

Just googled and the reason you can’t use the Amazon app to buy Kindle books is because Apple takes a percentage of the app cost and Amazon don’t want that!

You need to go to the website not the app. You can only browse not order through the app

Well, a massive thank you from me.
I've logged in, not in the app, and ordered loads of books.
This is why I love Mumsnet.

Thank you. I didn’t know this. I have the kindle app on my iPad and couldn’t figure out how to do this.
