You never could buy content from within the Kindle app, Amazon have never offered that as an option. All they did was have a Store button which opened Safari to the Amazon Kindle page. Now you have to open it yourself.

Edit: Oh, and yes, apps sold through Google Play must use Google's APIs for any in-app purchases, for which Google take 30%. I think the same is true for Amazon. I think the application is of a less blanket nature than Apple's restrictions though, which apply to all content.
