Kindle buy restriction?

Amazon changed something and I can't easily buy Kindle books on my Amazon app any more. Also the buy button is gone from the browser window on my computer!
They said I should be able to do it that way...
Well, maybe that is just a temporary bug?

I checked and it is possible to download a sample and buy it via Kindle App after scrolling to the bottom of it.

"To remain in compliance with Google’s updated Play Store policies, readers will no longer be able to buy or rent Kindle books or subscribe to Kindle Unlimited through this app. You can always add to your library by buying or renting books through amazon.co.uk in a web browser."

Been like this on Apple for ages

I go in through the browser not the app and it's fine then.

It doesn't work on my browser too! I hope this is just a bug.

It's really irritating. For some reason, I usually seem to be on my laptop when I buy books so it hasn't been much of a problem. I discovered this change the other day when I tried to buy a book on my phone. So I had to switch from the app to the website.
