Body: <p>It's really surprising to me to see why it is not easy to buy a book using the Kindle reader app on iPad. It has only provision to download the samples but there is no option to buy a complete book. For that I am using a browser or Amazon Store app. Is there anything I am missing here or it's just like that?</p>
