Good news for all you bookworms: Google recently announced it will be plunging into the e-book market as early as this summer. It will be implementing some snazzy new book-search software, as well as allowing even small third-party retailers to sell their “G-books.” Google has not yet decided whether or not to price the books themselves, or let the publishers have that authority.
What’s going to make this different than the other e-book services is that “Google Editions,” as it will be called, will work on a multitude of different devices, and you can bet Android will get in the game soon enough, given Google's "Mobile first" strategy. The competition in this market is already fierce, with juggernauts like Apple and Amazon leading the way – but we’re sure that it won’t take long to catch up.
