The message displayed to shoppers suggests it's Google's fault for not permitting eBook sales, but it's Amazon's decision to just pull the functionality. But, as of June 1st, 2022, Google promised to actually enforce the policies and make companies respect its billing system rules, threatening to remove them if they did not comply.Īs a result, Amazon decided to stop allowing users to buy Kindle books via its apps, whether we're talking about the Amazon app or the Kindle one. Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Prime members can select and download Kindle books. Of course, as everyone knows, not all sellers have been abiding by this rule, including Amazon. Kindle books you have purchased on Amazon will automatically appear in your app. In doing so, Google gets a share of the sale. More specifically, as per Google's Play Console Help page, Google expects apps to use the company's own billing system to sell digital goods.

While Google has similar rules for its Google Play Store, they have seldom been enforced. The company made this move in order to avoid paying extra fees on digital goods, as per the Apple App Store rules.
