So if you can't purchase content from a free app, that means, for one example, the Amazon Kindle app will have to not be free anymore, right? Or Stanza as well, even though you might want to use it with free content. That's kind of sucky if true.

I haven't used the Kindle App, but can you purchase content from within the app?
 
No, you can't. You need to do that through Amazon's Kindle store website.
Right, now you do, but I thought that in-app purchasing would be something perfect for the Amazon or Stanza reader software, and would eliminate the need to be sent to an external web page. But requiring the app itself to be paid for is kind of wonky for that sort of model.

What Amazon (or any other reader) could do, is have the App being 99c (or anything) and then offer a 99c credit for your first book purchase (essentially make the app "free" but still allowing them make use of the in-app purchasing.
 
Hell Everyone,
I had latest two iphones in my family. I am very crazy due to their all updates. I like sound compatibility and it supports most of the formates of video-audio albums. Now, I can access music easily.They have good hardware supports and also have 7.2 Mbps HSDPA for faster networking speeds. They have best the camera and video capability.
