Download Ebooks: Google Ebooks

Google Ebooks

Google eBooks (formerly Google Editions) is an e-book program run by Google,[1] originally set to open in mid-summer 2010.[2][3] It was opened on December 6, 2010 to customers in the United States.[4] It offers universal access and non-restrictive copying. The store is headed by Dan Clancy, who also directs Google Books.[2]

Google eBooks purchased at the Google eBookstore (Google eBooks' online store front) or other retailers are stored online and linked to the customer's Google account.[5] They can then be read online, or downloaded to a cache for offline reading. Holding purchased books on Google's server theoretically allows Google to serve books to users under a variety of formats, including new formats that might not be available at the time of purchase.
