Google eBooks are a new way to discover, buy, and enjoy your favourite books, online and offline, powered by Google. With Google eBooks, you can do the following:
Read Seamlessly on Any Device.
Your Google eBooks are stored safely in the digital cloud (Google's computer servers), so you can read anywhere you go, using just about any device with an Internet connection. Google eBooks are compatible with most Web browsers, Android phones, iPhones, iPads, and many eReaders.
As you read, your page positions are saved across all the devices so you can pick up reading where you last left off. That means you can start reading on your PC, continue on your laptop, and carry on reading on your smart phone.
Google eBooks Offer Instant Availability and Unlimited Storage.
Access your library anytime, anywhere. All of your Google eBooks are stored wirelessly in one place, so you can access.
What is the Benefit of Using a Google eBook in the "Cloud"?
Google eBooks that you purchase are kept on Google's vast network of computer servers, or "cloud." This system provides you with a lot of benefits in your reading experience, including the following:
Keeping Your Place:
Since you're accessing the same digital book every time, Google's system knows when you stop reading on a given page. For example, if you are reading a Google eBook on your home computer and stop at page 120, you could access the same book on your phone or e-reader and continue from
page 120 without losing your place.
Accessibility:
Since Google eBooks are kept on the cloud, you don't have to worry about moving a downloaded version of your book from one device to another. As long as you have a Google account, you should be able to access any Google eBooks you have purchased, from any computer, as well as most phones and e-readers.
Can I Share Google eBooks?
Google eBooks are designed to accommodate one book per user. This means that sharing books among multiple users is not currently supported.
When will google eBooks be available in non USA countries such as Australia?
This is the big question as other companies are jumping on the opportunity to lead the way with ebooks in australia. Google is missing out on this opportunity and Australian readers are taking up with Amazon.
Google ebooks must make their move soon or be left too far behind. businesses are also using Amazon affiliate program to make money from selling ebooks. This is available to USA online businesses but only in the USA. Again a missed opportunity.
