Google Edition:Google Online BookStore

google_booksToday,Gadget News about Google digital books.From CNN reports that Q2, Google will   selling digital books on online bookstore. The Google launch digital books  compete Amazon.com’s and Apple recently launched the iBookstore for its wildly popular iPad. Google plans to allow its digital books to be read on any device. Amazon.com forces publishers to package books in a special, only-for-Kindle format, so users need to have a Kindle or a Kindle app on a competitor’s device to read from their Amazon library. Apple has embraced the so-called Epub industry standard, but its books are locked so they can only be read on Apple devices or through its custom software. Google Editions, on the other hand, would not let users download books at all; rather, they would only be available exclusively on a Web browser. That could keep licensing fees low, although The New Yorker story reported that Google will let publishers set prices for their books.
