Google extends Google Play Books service to India
01 Mar 2013
With the extension of its Google Play Books service in the Indian market, users willbe able to download e-books from a collection of 4 million titles.
The e-book store has been made live on the web version of Google Play and the mobile version. Users would now be able to install the Play Books app on their Android or iOS mobile device to download, read and manage the ebooks they had purchased.
They would also be able to read third party e-reader apps by transferring them from their computers using the Adobe Digital Editions Desktop Reader.
Books can also be previewed on computers and phone before they were bought.
With books stored on the cloud, users would need internet connectivity to access them. Interestingly, the Play Books reader apps remembers the page of the book where the reader last left reading the book.
Google-Play-Books had also customised the store, keeping the Indian market in mind, and had added books from Indian authors like Amish Tripathi, Devdutt Pattanaik, and Khushwant Singh, among others.
