http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/07/business/media/07ebookstore.html?hp The New York Times of 10.12.06 announced that the Google eBook Store is now available for online shoppers. It will be an alternative to Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble's online book stores. Hundreds of thousands of the digital books will be for-sale. But millions of digital books (probably old, out-of-print books) will be available for free.
