Google, being the smart and powerful business they are, have decided to launch a service for selling electronic books that can be read directly on portable handsets like the HTC Cell Phones with android software. They are expecting to have some half-million books in electronic form and ready for purchase at the time of writing this article. They consider themselves to be more of a book distributor or wholesaler and nothing more; they are the middle man between the electronic book and the tech-savvy reader.
The Google division is known as Google Editions and is offering an alternative to the popular Amazon Kindle. Rather than having books that can be read on a device that must be purchased readers are now able to have a books come to the device which they already own, the HTC Cell Phones and other smartphones. It is another idea which is increasing the dominance of Google in electronics as a whole. What started with a search engine has suddenly blossomed into a company that has a competitive smartphone on the market, popular smartphone software on the market as well as ownership of many prominent internet companies today.
The best thing about the Google Editions books is that they will be available on HTC Cell Phones, or any phone with a web browser for that matter, but in addition to those devices these e-books will be available on any desktop computer, laptop computer, netbooks as well as the smartphone. So anyone who purchases a book may read on a number of devices and so is not limited. Furthermore the reader will not need to carry around a bulky book around when traveling as now the book can be accessed on any number of devices, whether that device is the one in your pocket or the desktop at a library, the choice is yours alone.
These innovations continue to surprise and we wonder what may come of all this technology a year from now. If we continue to have an impressive product released week in and week out this writer can only speculate at what will be available by the end of 2010. Either way, the wait is surely part of the fun as is the anticipation and guessing. What we can assume is that it will not stop anytime soon but rather will continue for a great while longer. And that can only mean more incredible products for us lucky consumers. Keep it coming, guys!
