The difference is that Amazon allows publishers to recoup the overhead of the platform in the subscription price, whereas Apple does not - i.e. charge a premium due to the charges Amazon imposes.
From the article:
The Economist costs £9.99 per month on The Kindle store, almost £20 more expensive over the course of 12 months than a print subscription that also gives access to the digital editions (excluding Kindle)
