The whole purpose of the Nook line was to let Barnes & Noble sell books, and now it's just another tablet. It's ending digital purchases on its own hardware-the Nook HD 10" -because of the Google Play billing rules.

Android app signups before April 1 go through Amazon, and after April 1, they'll need to go through Google.īarnes & Noble is in an unusual position. Audible has responded by pulling US currency purchases from the Android Audible app, though the company notes you can still spend "credits"-Audible's free purchase vouchers-in the app.Ī new support page entry says, "Starting with the Audible for Google Play Android app version 3.23, purchasing titles with a debit or credit card in the app is no longer supported." While you can no longer make à la carte purchases, Amazon decided to let Audible subscriptions run through Google Play. Amazon can sell whatever physical products it wants on its own billing system, but the company's Audible division sells digital purchases, which means it's Google Play or the highway. The Verge reports that Amazon and Barnes & Noble are both complying with Google's rules. So it has been a few days now-what's different?
The company then delayed the transition by letting app developers request a six-month extension, which ran out on March 31. This has technically always been the rule at Google Play, but it went mostly unenforced until Google gave developers a deadline of September 2021 to get on board. The great Google Play billing crackdown is finally here.ĭevelopers selling digital goods inside their Android apps all need to switch to Google Play billing, or they will be locked out of the Play Store.
