Isn't this charging model the same reason Kindle stopped allowing in app purchases? I thought they had said it was a Google play store thing though. Is Google doing it too or is there pricing something different?

Yep, same reason you can't buy anything on Amazon Prime TV either.

Yep, Apple forces all purchases through in app payment for any digital goods.
