Kobo hopes that a web app will help it skirt Apple's App Store rules. E-book and e-reader seller Kobo is planning an HTML5 web app to bypass Apple's latest restrictions on its iOS devices. In the last few days, Kobo's iOS app, along with Amazon's Kindle app and Barnes & Noble's Nook app have all been forced to remove links to their online e-book stores.
This is in response to Apple's rule which bans apps from allowing access to retail channels other than its own in-app purchase option, of which Apple takes a 30% cut.
The rule makes things worse for users.
