We don’t know whether someone at Kobo voluntarily decided to do it, or whether the Apple ebook police demanded it (but the second option is a lot more likely), but the two links to the Kobo web store have been removed from the News feed of its iOS app. If there’s any good news to this, it’s that the post still lays the blame for the store removal squarely on Apple. At least as of today.

  1. In other news, Apple is still unsuccessful in making its iBookstore available on Kobo, Kindle, Sony Reader, and many other devices, and that’s because none of other device manufacturers would allow any competing stores.

    If there’s any good news to this, it’s that the blame for this lack of store choice still lays squarely on other device manufacturers.
