Dubbed Google Editions, the store will initially offer around half-a-million in-print books at prices set by the publishers.


Doesn't sound good, does it? :oops:

Quote:
In an attempt to differentiate the service from those offered by rivals, Google will allow competitors - including Amazon and Apple - to offer their own catalogues through the service. In this case publishers will receive 45% of the revenues, with the majority of the remaining 55% returning to the original retailer.


Becoming a sort of one-stop shop wouldn't hurt their native sales of course ;)

I wish they'd become another competitor in the market for print books, especially graphic novels :oops:
