After the release of Google Nexus One, here is another creation from Google. The company now introduces the Google Editions which is going to be released in the middle of the year.  Google Editions is an online store with storage of online books. It is an e-book store. It is like a library full of information  that user can see and read it. The store will be handled by Dan Clancy who heads the Google books.

Anything that you need, name it, they have books that are online and ready to be read. They will allow the users and buyers to download the information from the e-book. However, you will have to consult the publication and the author. As expected, when you copy a book, you should be able to consult the author and pay them. It only goes to show that Google is ready to spend money to create an e-book store. The book that is unauthorized for download will have some features like preview only. It will be available on the book store.

When you use this, a new feature of Google Book Search will be added to your account. You need to sign in to have an access to the Google e-book. You can keep the information of what you have read, to your account and come back again later to continue. Does e-book have an advantage? Yes, it does!
