It felt like a sneaky hack because, for years, you could buy a Kindle book on the Amazon app on an Android device when you couldn\u2019t do the exact same thing on an iOS one. But that unique relationship has ended, as first noted by Ars Technica<\/em><\/a>. When attempting to purchase ebooks on the Amazon app on Android, you\u2019re now directed to a new screen explaining why the purchasing option is gone. If you happen to update the app, you\u2019ll see a similar note as to what you see on an iOS device that says purchasing digital products on the app is unavailable.<\/p>\n

Amazon pulled digital book buying support from iOS devices back in 2011<\/a>. The goal was to avoid the \u201ctax\u201d Apple\u2019s App Store inflicts on digital goods. Comixology, the comic book app, lost the ability in 2014<\/a> not long after Amazon acquired it. It was, and continues to be, a deeply annoying byproduct of the Apple App Store ecosystem<\/a>. If you see a book you want to read and hit the button to buy it, you get taken into the Amazon app. Then you have to immediately go back to the browser, navigate to Amazon, and buy the book via that route. Not impossible \u2014 just frustrating.<\/p>\n
