You can already buy stuff from the Amazon app using your existing Amazon payment method. All of this controversy is about in-app purchases of digital content.

That's what I was referring to. Try buying a Kindle book — you have to wishlist it (you can't even add it to your cart) and switch to a browser to actually buy it.

This is also why I mention Amazon a lot: while I favor ApplePay for purchases, there's a 0% chance that I want to use it for my Kindle purchases because simply owning a Kindle means I've already committed to use Amazon to buy content for it.

Apple likes to imply it's only about frivolous things like powerups in games or iTunes songs, but software is eating the world, so the whole economy is moving to being "digital".

Except you can't purchase Kindle/Audible content.
