Google eBooks

Google opened its ebook store today.

We designed Google eBooks to be open. Many devices are compatible with Google eBooks — everything from laptops to netbooks to tablets to smartphones to e-readers. With the new Google eBooks Web Reader, you can buy, store and read Google eBooks in the cloud. That means you can access your ebooks like you would messages in Gmail or photos in Picasa—using a free, password-protected Google account with unlimited ebooks storage.

    Isn’t this exactly what Amazon is already offering?

    Joel, I can’t find a difference, but it’s good to have another player in the market.

    That said, anybody taken a deep look at prices? I checked a few and they all seemed to be the same as Amazon, iBooks, and Barnes & Noble.

    So…Google eBooks is open, providing you use a Google account? Hmm.
