Google launches eBook Store
Google launched its ebooks and e-bookstore , a move that could further damage struggling traditional bookstores and give customers a cheaper option for books on the go.
The eBook store has nearly 3 million free booksand hundreds of thousands of titles that are ready for purchase.Like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, Google is also rolling out apps for Android devices, as well as Apple’s iPhone and iPad, to allow shopping and reading on the go.
The books will be accessible on computers, tablets, phones, and e-readers.Google has already unveiled apps for the iPhone, iPad, itouch, and Droid.
“Today is the first page in a new chapter of our mission to improve access to the cultural and educational treasures we know as books,” Abraham Murray, the Product Manager of Google Books wrote on the company blog.
Google eBooks are stored in the cloud, so if you plan to read on the web using your computer, tablet, or on your phone, there is no file to download and you can read ebooks directly within the browser or application.
“Launching Google eBooks is an initial step toward giving you greater access to the vast variety of information and entertainment found in books,” Murray said. “Our journey has just begun.”
With the Google bookstore, users can download full books to their iPhones or iPads or other smartphones.
The e-reader, which can be downloaded across different platforms including Apple products, as well as accessed through computers, makes it easy for consumers to purchase e-books similar to how iTunes works for
