Can you buy kindle books in the app on iOS? I thought Amazon didn't want Apple taking a bite out of their (already low) ebook profits?

You still buy the books through Amazon, and download them from Amazon. Technically they're not an IAP, since with "traditional" IAPs the app store/play store would keep track of what purchases a user has made; with Kindle, Amazon is keeping track of what you buy and they link it to your account so you can access it anywhere.
