Overview

• Amazon's Kindle iOS app now features a 'Get Book' button, allowing users to purchase eBooks through their mobile web browser for the first time since 2011.
• The update stems from an April 30 court ruling in the Epic Games v. Apple case, which barred Apple from blocking external purchase links or imposing a 27% commission on them.
• Tapping the 'Get Book' button redirects users to Amazon's website, where purchases can be completed, and the book is synced back to the app for immediate reading.
• Other developers, including Spotify, have begun implementing similar external purchase links as Apple complies with the ruling during its ongoing appeal.
• This change represents a significant improvement in user experience for Kindle app users on iOS, simplifying what was previously a cumbersome process.
