In order to read books on your Kindle app for Android, you would need to login to your Amazon account using your computer or mobile internet browser, find a book you want to purchase, buy it and then open the Kindle app and sync it. This is just another barrier, that makes buying ebooks more difficult. I think their sheer ruthlessness to what Apple and now Google have done. They have basically made it financially unviable for digital bookstores to exist on their platforms. However, there might be a method to the madness. When Apple basically forced all the major bookstores off their iOS platform, it drove adoption for Apple Books. This audiobook and digital bookstore sell content in the app, and since they own the platform, their commission rates are zero. Google is in a similar situation, they have forced out Audible, the largest audiobook retailer in the world. They also zeroed out the ability for Barnes and Noble to sell digital content and now Kindle. Once all of Googles competition have exited their platform, Google Play Books will be the only game in town. They have never been the most used bookstore, but this will all changed. Since Google runs their own billing system and owns Android, they will pay zero commissions and everything they make will be pure profit. How will readers be able to buy and read Kindle ebooks going forward? There are basically two ways to do it. Amazon employs their own billing system on these devices, so Google is not involved at all. The second is with any Kindle e-Reader that uses e-paper technology. Amazon sells audiobooks and ebooks right on the device, directly.
