4:21 i’ve heard people say that the reason you cannot buy books on the Amazon app, is, because if you are using the Amazon app on an Apple device, Amazon would have to pay a portion of the sales to Apple. If you were using a Kindle reader on a Kindle paper white, you can buy books for Amazon. They are just cutting out apples charges for purchases made on an apple device.while it makes sense, I don’t like it either.
The reason you cant buy books in your kindle app on an iPad or an iPhone is because for every book you buy Amazon has to give a 30% cut to Apple. Since they don't want to do that they removed that option from their iOS apps. I guess its the same with android too. Other services like Netflix too do it this way in order to avoid paying Apple a share.
Apple does something I was shocked to see… they make all the classic public domain books completely free! While Kindle bundles them/makes the classics only available if you buy kindle unlimited or buy them outright for at least $5 a pop. I get why they do it but quite interesting seeing one company do one thing and the other doing the complete opposite.
Hi, there’s something I couldn’t understand: with Apple Books do you have to pay for both the e-book AND the audiobook to be able to listen to the book while you are reading? I’m dyslexic and I know there is an IOS setting that reads for you, but it has got a very “robotic” voice and the whispersync doesn’t work properly. Since I’d like to use it for studying, I’d prefer a human voice, do you have any suggestions? Thanks for sharing!
I wish apple books and audiobooks had more of a borrow feature. You can borrow it for a month at a discounted price and then it autodeletes. So you dont jusr horde a bunch of books you Have read
Apple Books takes the win for me with the audio books being on the same app. Can you transfer from reading to audio with the same book? Say I’m reading because I’m at the doctors but want to listen when I get in the car.
With apple books not that I'm aware of but Audible has a something called whisper that allows you to do this. I'll be creating a video talking about this very soon
I’m dyslexic so I love audible and I’m listening to the Morganville vampires because I find it hard to read I get stuck on Pages and it’s frustrating but how are the Audible is brilliant it’s good for dyslexic people thank you for sharing that take care keep safe all the family 📕📕📖📚
Love the review! Does the Apple Books have Nook look feature? One of the things I likes about Nook is that screen didn't appear to look as if you were look at a digital image. It appeared as if you were looking on paper. Maybe the solution here is just to lower the brightness but I definitely miss this about Nook.
Not so far as I can tell, I feel like it does look like just a screen that you're looking at but that does actually sound like it would be really good! Will have to look into it
I feel like to cover all the bases in terms of comparison an obvious mention would be that Kindle books are obviously innately compatible with Kindle e-ink readers. Apple has no e-ink devices and I'm not even sure that the books you can buy on Apple can even be used on any e-ink devices.
i dont know if its apples fault, but i found a "free book" and in the end they just cutted one book into five and gave the first one for "free" which seemed to be even shorter than the extract vom kindle. if you bought the other 4 parts in the end you had to pay about 3 euros more for the whole book.

Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know that!
Anything purchased through an iOS app is subject to 30% fee being paid to Apple

It seems crazy but I guess it’s a money game!
@@kelly_savage it's not crazy, because if Amazon needs to give a cut to Apple is the consumer who pays more in the end.
Yup, the entire reason for the Apple vs Spotify war!
Anna's Archive is the digital bookstore, iykyk 😏
Informative and unbiased, thank youuu :)))

love that idea, because i have never really ever gone back to the ones i've purchased before
It should also have a feature that’s allows you to buy that borrowed book for the remaining price.

I’m so glad you’ve found a platform that works for you, I’ve never heard of morganville vampires I will have to check that one out!
Kindle used to have the store within the app years ago. They removed the store from the app in recent years.. silly decision on their part

@@kelly_savage yeah it would be great if apple could incorporate this somehow. This is one of the strongpoints of the nook imo
Triple tap on your iOS devise and select choose filter > low light , you’re welcome

Does the apple books have the bookerly or caecilia font?!😢
What you didnt discuss is which app is better if you have e-books downloaded already. Can you add that to any update that you do? thanks
Of course!
Thank you !
Hi, I want to ask, what is this case you’re using for the iPad? I’ve been looking for something like that! Thanks
Hi! I just got it off of Amazon but it was ages ago so I can't find the exact link, sorry!!
@@kelly_savage alright! No worries! Thank you!

How about Google Books?
can anyone give me a kindle app/apple book theme settings which will make my ipad epubs feel like i am reading on an i-ink???
❤❤❤😂
Apple books because I can use thesaurus
I can’t find many famous books on Apple Book … is that the case with others?
I can usually find the ones I want but I think it can vary by country and I guess just what you define as a famous book too?
Thank you
We share classic audiobooks every week!
Even the name Kindle Unlimited is stupid. As books are not unlimited.
You baffle the viewer
Bad comment. You shouldn't be doing it.
A litle research would have made this video a touch better
why buy an apple period. I've been in both worlds and started out as an apple fan boy. believe me, I am so glad that I am out.
