Summary

Google Play Books for iOS now allows users to initiate ebook purchases directly within the app, leveraging Apple’s ‘reader’ apps exception. This change means that while users can tap a 'Get book' button in the app, they are redirected to an external Google website (play.google.com/store/books/welcome) to complete the purchase. The process includes a warning from Apple about leaving the App Store ecosystem and managing transactions with Google directly.

This update simplifies the purchasing experience compared to the previous method, which required users to manually open a browser and search for the book on the Google Play website. Other apps like Netflix have adopted similar approaches under Apple's new guidelines. The change applies to both ebooks and audiobooks, making it easier for users to buy and manage their content across multiple devices.
