The Google eBookstore has finally launched in Australia, and as part of that launch, the Google Books app is available to download.
The benefit of buying eBooks from Google is that they’re always stored in the cloud and are tied to your Google account. All you need to do is login to your account, and they’ll be synced to your device.
The app itself allows you to change fonts, search within books, manage your library, and access an offline reading mode as well from when you aren’t connected to the internet.
You also have access to unlimited storage, and preview pages for books you may be thinking about buying.
One of the best features is page synching. Any time you finish reading a book at a certain point, your other devices will know where you left off.
Having more choice makes buying eBooks easier. Google Books is free, and worth a download.
