Apple's app store policies prohibit the sale of digital books through apps without Apple taking a cut of the revenue. This is why you can't buy Kindle books directly on the Kindle app on your iPhone. To bypass this, purchase books via the Amazon website on your browser. Once bought, the books will automatically appear in your Kindle app when you refresh your library.
