Currently Google offers 4 million paid and free books in its digital service. If you have an Android tablet that comes bundled with Google Play, you can buy books directly on your device. If you are one of the ones that doesn’t have access, you can download it from our Good e-Reader App Store.
Google also announced that it has added new features that are available to everyone. The app now lets you highlight text and easily take notes. Also, because all your books live in the cloud, highlights and notes sync on your tablet, phone, and the web. For those adventurous readers making their way through books in non-native languages, you can now easily translate words or phrases to and from a number of languages. Just select the text or word and use the button on the top action bar to indicate which language you’d like it translated into.
