There was a period where the Android Kindle app stopped allowing you to make purchases. (You'd have to visit Amazon instead.) But they've resumed.
I'm curious about what happened.
- wmf 2y agoGoogle and Amazon had some kind of cold war about them both wanting to control the living room or something. A few years ago they both decided to play nice.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoStrangely I still can't buy kindle books from the Amazon app on Android, it still says I have to visit the Website.
- wmf 2y agoI assume Google copied Apple's policy about taking a cut of every IAP.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoI can definitely buy kindle books through the Android Kindle app. My best guesses are: - you haven't updated the app in a long time - you're somewhere outside the United States Is either of those true?
