Google has gained permission to sell its e-books and audiobooks directly to customers through its iOS app, Google Play Books .

Users will be able to click on a new “Get book” button in the app to complete their e-book or audiobook purchase.

By processing the transaction on its own website, Google can avoid paying Apple a commission on in-app purchases of digital content.
