Google eBook Business

Google’s eBook store will begin selling books by the end 2009. Google stated that it will allow publishers to set eBook prices. The cost of the eBook will probably be higher than Amazon’s current eBook prices.

This will certainly start a format war. Google does not have a dedicated eBook reader and I do not see them getting into the eBook hardware game. This will push companies to create eBook readers that will connect to Google’s new store. Certainly Amazon is ahead of everyone in regards to ease of use and the ability to download eBooks via a wireless connection. Hopefully this will give all of us multiple choices on purchasing eBooks.
