Amazon has prevented Android users from purchasing a new e-book on the official Kindle app. The major change took effect today (June 1), with billing options not only removed from the Amazon Kindle app but also from the Music and Audible apps. This large feature removal is in response to changes to your Google Play Store billing policy.
Earlier this month, Amazon also removed the option to purchase digital products in the Amazon Shopping and Prime Video apps.
In an email to customers, Amazon said changes were being made to comply with updated Google Play Store policies.
In a message to Kindle users, Amazon said: “Readers will no longer be able to purchase or rent Kindle books or subscribe to Kindle Unlimited through the Amazon Android app. This change keeps the app compliant. updated Google Play Store policies.
“You can always add books to your library by buying or renting books on amazon.com from a web browser.”
While the message does not indicate which rules are the answer, Google’s policies require that the Google Play Store applications use the search engine giant’s billing system.
Which is why Android makers are taking a cut of every digital sale.
Email to Amazon Kindle users continues to explain how Android users can still get content on their device.
Amazon says its official Android app can still be used to create its playlist, while Android users can also purchase new ebooks through their web browser, in addition to recommending the Kindle Unlimited service that offers you an unlimited library of over a million e-books to read. .
Alternatively, you can download the Amazon App Store for Android and download relevant apps from this market.
These apps will be different from those in the Google Play Store and will continue to offer in-app purchases.
Therefore, you’ll need to remove your old versions of the Google Play Store from Kindle, Music, Audible, Prime Video, and Amazon Shopping apps and replace them with Amazon App Store downloads.
