Amazon Kindle’s iOS app adds new ‘Get Book’ button following Apple payments ruling


Thanks to a recent ruling that ordered Apple to stop charging a 27% commission on purchases through iPhone apps, Amazon’s Kindle iOS app now has a “Get book” button that makes it easier to buy titles.

“We regularly make improvements to our apps to help ensure we are providing customers the most convenient experience possible,” Amazon spokesperson Tim Gillman told The Verge, which first reported the news. “By selecting ‘Get Book’ within the Kindle for iOS app, customers can now complete their purchase through their mobile web browser.”

Prior to this change, buying titles through the Kindle or Amazon app, or even viewing their prices, wasn’t allowed.

Amazon isn’t the only tech giant that’s taking advantage of the recent ruling, as Spotify started allowing users to access pricing information and external payment links last Friday.

While Apple is being forced to comply with the court ruling, the tech giant filed an appeal on Monday after previously stating that it strongly disagreed with the decision.
