Google plans to sell eBooks this year
Google has told publishers that it will start selling eBooks by the end of the year, according to newspaper reports. The search giant is preparing to take on the likes of Amazon by selling eBooks directly to consumers, the New York Times reports.
Google already allows people to search for and read extracts from books, via its controversial Book Search service. That same service also provides links to leading book stores such as Amazon and Waterstone’s, where people can buy print and electronic versions of the titles.
