Hot on the heels of Barnes and Nobles' latest update to the Nook for Android app, Google have followed suit with a little update to their own Google Books app.  The changelog touts the ability to +1 a book while reading, in book search and landscape mode for flowing text on phones, and perhaps more interestingly promises better support for 7-inch tablets.  With the impending launch of the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet, Google doesn't seem to want to be left out in the e-reading stakes. While there isn't a great deal of choice in the 7-inch tablet space as yet, it's still a nice feature to have included. Plus it'll work on your hacked Nook Color.  Download links after the break.

Google as an app developer has released various applications in the Android Market and some of these come pre-installed on most Android devices – like Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Search. But others have to be downloaded from Android Market; we have compiled a list of these apps that have been developed by Google. The number comes around 40 apps, although we have tried our best, but we might have missed a few. But not all applications are available in every country and every device; some are regional apps as they support only certain languages or certain apps might support only few device types. So, the best way to check if one of these apps is available in your country is to go to the phone/tablet based Market app and try searching for that particular app – if it comes in the search results than you are good to go.

As far as I’m concerned, the only thing my Android mobile can’t do is wash my clothes..oh, and maybe button my shirt. That said, I don’t know why, until recently, I’d totally neglected to use Google’s eBooks app on my phone. I mean, why carry around 12 ounces of paperback, when you already carry your phone around and it fits snuggly in the back pocket of your 501′s (kidding, if you’re wearing 501′s, you probably don’t even have an Android device…but I’m sure that Motorola RAZR you’ve got works just fine, lol). I recently downloaded and completed my first eBook, and let me tell you, if you’ve had any apprehension to giving up your physical paperbacks, and aren’t interested in toting around additional devices–eBooks on your Android mobile will rawk your socks off!! Navigation is extremely easy, turning a page is as simple as a swipe across your screen, and the text/font is totally readable. Read More
Sorry kiddos, the summer is drawing to an end and it's time to start getting ready to crack those books again.  In fact, we venture to guess that some of you might already be in class right now and should be paying attention to the teacher or professor.  We're here to help you start the new school year off right and are happy to give you an invaluable resource with more than 50 Android apps geared for back-to-school season.  Whether you are looking for handy apps to have in the classroom or if you need a new set of kicks, we've got you covered. Many of the apps listed below are free, but there are the occasional pro and paid versions. We suggest coughing up a couple of bucks and getting the paid clients as they generally offer more features and remove unsightly ads.  What's more, some of these have excellent Read More

Google is a software giant, and many of us user their proprietary applications on our Android phone.  With good reason -- apps like Gmail, Androidify, and YouTube absolutely rock on an Android device.  But did you know that Google, Inc. has a veritable laundry list of apps available on the Android Market?  They're all free, too!  Some of you more Android savvy types might already know of them all, but for the rest of us there's an easy way to have a look at them, using search while in the Market app on your phone or tablet.  Just open the search dialog using the search button on your phone or the search icon in the Market, and look for Pub:"Google Inc."  That's a search by publisher -- in this case, Google, Inc. So can you guess all the Google apps? We've given you seven freebies, and we've got your list after the Read More

Makes me want to stop using google I think this application sneaked in with some update. That would usually not bother me to much. But even if i have not even started the application, i suddenly get the status message "new book downloaded". If google thinks it is OK to download a book without my approval, what prevents them from buying a book without my approval? Do not use this application!!!!! Use some other e-reader where you have the possibility to control if it should download (buy) a book or not.

What is your problem? It is too Long to say "play book" you little babies omg! And it works just fine and does not crash your phone! I have been selling phones for the past 8 years and if you are having problems with your phone then do research before you buy 1 and you will realize how much internal memory you have (MOTOR have 8GB)!

Without that feature, the likely good of me buying a book groom google its slim indeed. Since I won't be using this app in the first place.

maybe you should research this before you give a bad rate. your phone company puts many blocks on your phone to protect you. this app is safe to leave on there. it is possible for an advanced user to delete this app but it also will make your phone more vulnerable to viruses and such. it is not googles fault that your phone company built this app along with some other crap into your phone so go complain to them instead of putting it on here. thanks :)

Don't start your digital book collection with this app. Kindle is the way to go. Here you can't highlight or click words to look them up in the dictionary. With Kindle you can. I love Google, but I'm sorry I bought even one book from them. The good news is that Amazon knows how to make sure you get your money's worth. Try reading a free book in each app and you'll see what I mean.
NiteShadow 0.0 stars
I installed this app approximately 6 weeks ago & I've not had a lick of problems with it. Since I ALWAYS have my phone with me, it means I always have a book @ hand to read @ anytime I want. If you can't uninstall it take that issue up with your phone carrier, DON'T blame Google for something that they have NO CONTROL over. This app deserves 5 *'s for what they ARE responsible for, making a good functioning app.

To everyone yelling about having never installed this app or complaining that it can't be installed. This app has always been on you device. That's why it can't be uninstalled. The reason you think it's new is because Google changed the name (formerly Google Books) and changed the icon. So stop and use common sense before looking foolish.

Page flip effect is by far most realistic of any reading app I've tried. Syncing works seamlessly. Font selection is nice. Overall am very happy with the whole experience, especially after the app undergone a major facelift upgrade.
CiCi 3.0 stars
Very difficult to read. Maybe I'm not up to date with technology but I still prefer actual books. Perhaps the ability to change background and text colors or fonts would help. I instinctively try to scroll up and down rather than side to side but I understand the thought process. I won't be purchasing any books, I can't even get through the free ones plus the books are priced ridiculously. It's a good concept, just needs a lot of work to get me on board.

OK first, this is a a great reader (although PDF compatibility would make it even better) Second, its not bloatware, your providers do that. And last, if you REALLY want to remove it (or anything else for that matter) then go to settings/manage apps/[the app you want to get rid of]/and hit disable. Also you can erase the data from there as well... idiots...

A decent ereader, it needs so much more. To be able to lock the auto rotation out, for one thing, would be a boon to it's ability. Some would probably like to adjust colors to make it easier to read though I'm happy with the night/day selection. Make some adjustments Google. It will do this app well.

Wow, all of these negative reviews... This app was on your phone already, under the name google books. It was great on my bionic and my tab 10.1. The ui is much cleaner and the transitions smoother than the offerings from Barnes and Noble and Amazon. Overall, I love this app. Oh, and for those who complain you need data to read a book, you do know that you can pin the book to offline reading within the app right? Cmon people, google is not stupid.
Ryan 3.0 stars
god this app is so annoying, when turning pages it freezes all the time, also there's no way to disable read aloud by default. I thought Google was better than this, please fix
Noelle 1.0 stars
I don't understand why people are making digital books, is using recycled paper too hard? If apps like these continue in the future there's a chance that they wouldn't make real books anymore and everyone would have to get it digitally. In my opinion, people look stupid trying to read something on their smartphone compared to someone reading an actual book. Let us delete this if we want to!

It reads books all right. But on my Android phone it doesn't switch to landscape mode which anyone with a smaller device desperately needs. Also there are no next and previous page buttons, just the big scroll that will not let you go page by page because the resolution is too small. This has been an issue for some time, as anyone can google. I hope it will get resolved some day.

I decided to jump off the Kindle bandwagon, and hop on the Google one, but this app really makes it hard to do. There's no bookmark option, not black text on white screen option, and no way to quickly find the definition of a word. I will say that it does have a great interface, and books tend to be priced better than they do on Amazon. If Google would only fix those few features, this would be without a doubt, a 5 star app.

So far I've only read the free built-in books, but I've got to say, it's not that bad of an app at all. I've been going through and rating most of the 1-star reviews as either unhelpful or spam depending on whether they actually have relevance (like whining about the app not being uninstallable) or not (like whining about the name of the Play Store). Obviously these people are either trolling or just stupid.
Pete 2.0 stars
Like this app, or the idea of it, however there are serious problems with it as it stands. Reading the walking dead book and the book itself freezes every couple of minutes, sometimes less. The read aloud feature is also enabled every time I reopen the book which means I have to waste more time disabling it. It also doesn't keep the place I read last from pc to phone very well. Please fix!

There room for many improvements here. Many of the ebooks are extremely expensive. Much better deals can be had else where. Not sure what the ebooks format is in but their very BIG in megabytes.

Get it together Google, or you'll very quickly lose out on this one...

the good books cost money, and thw classics are free. i can deal with that, but whenever i want it to "read aloud" it just flios though the pages really fast. and whenever i want to download a book, it says it can't then a few days later, it comes. if you ask me, you are better off with the kindle app because you can search words you dont know right there and then. on the kindle app, books are released earlier and more books (free or not) are available.

The app is ok, but needs some work. The biggest problem I have is that the app reads aloud every time I open it up on my Galaxy Nexus. Nothing like waking the wife up with the app reading aloud automatically. There needs to be a way to make that stop happening. Also, the app could use features found on other readers such as highlighting.

Jacob Bubble 4.0 stars
After the update for 2.3 with the whole UI change and the added 3D animation for page flips previously only available in 3.0+ versions. I find that the experience is much better and feels a lot more complete. Google has really done a good job and has listened. That being said I think that there is still work to be done. I'm not sure what the 3.0+ versions have exactly since I am on a 2.3 device but there still is missing features that are necessarily in order to be able to compete with the competition such as Amazon Kindle. First off choice. When I search for say, the bible, I get many many different versions of the book. Some are free some are paid. Often times the book I want is not available on Google Books, forcing me to either use another provider or buy the physical book. Features and consistency seems to be a problem. On the app on chrome, Google Books offers section notes among others not available on the mobile application. No bookmarks is a real annoyance and indexing of book's chapters is not always consistent either. I have come across some scanning problems in some books which makes me have to guess what it says.

I love the page turning animations, but that's about all this app can do. You can't bookmark, highlight, make notes or anything other than turn pages and navigate. Where's the love for this app Google...??? I refuse to purchase content until I can do what should be basic functionality in a modern e-reader (Amazon Kindle is an example). It would also be nice to be able to switch to a single page mode in landscape.

With the screen of My Galaxy Nexus, reading on this is a quite enjoyable experience. However, the app itself is barebones at best. No highlighting, pinch to zoom, and I don't like that I can't see the notification bar. Also I wish there was a dictionary for highlighted words, which would be very helpful. My main complaint is that whenever I open a book, my phone instantly starts reading aloud, which is very disruptive and aggravating. This is a decent app, and it looks nice, but it has a long way to go.

Ok so after the recent update I'm kinda missing the bookshelf view... But they have a read aloud option now and I swear its gotta be the worst text to speech shhh I've ever heard. The speaking is all monotone and makes it hard to follow bc it don't take into account any emotion. It's 2012 why the hell are u using something that was used when the apples were in schools in the late 80s just saying step it up

Page sync between tablet/phone/web works perfectly! Just close out of the book and poof....page saved. One of the biggest features I wish the mobile/tablet had is the dictionary. The web-based Play Books has a dictionary feature built in when you double-click a word. Copy+Paste, highlight, and bookmarks would be cool as well, but I'd put dictionary as my number one requested feature.

After last update, search function stopped working in the app. Search also works much less well in the play store, used to be able to search contents of the books for relevant material, now the search only for title and description. Please fix, this is by far the poorest part of google services.

I have a 4.5 inch screen which is perfect for reading with. And since alot of older books had only scanned pages, it didn't bother me at all having slightly smaller type. But since the new update it now creates a spacer around the edges of the scanned pages instead of filling the screen up. Also, I can't use flowing text in all the books either.

So this app is just about perfect of any book app out there. The book app that comes pre-installed to the Asus Transformer is a little bit better in the way of having more features. One feature being is having multiple bookmarks; this feature would make an excellent boost of quality in this app. Another suggestion being having the ability to mark specific paragraphs; this would make it almost essential for making notes for a report. Another thing that would help the most is giving the user to synchronize the multi-bookmark feature between their other android devices. I don't believe it does that already.

They either don't know how to use the app, have some sort of cheap phones, or somehow messed it up. I had been reading a Google book on my tablet. Just installed the app on my phone, turned on sync, opened my book and it's on the exact page I stopped reading on my tablet. Another win for a Google, and another loss for people who aren't smart enough for a smartphone.

Before the last update it worked fine, and was fairly handy for reading whilst out and about. After they added the 3D eye-candy it won't even open. Force closes every time. Has removed value from the books I have bought. Won't be using the store again until they fix this...

The only thing flawed about this is that you can't copy and paste, or even highlight certain text. When working on an essay you have to remember the pages and where the text is located, then you gotta rewrite the text oppose to.Adobe you can copy and paste and less headaches. If possible I would like to read my book on Adobe instead.

Come on Google!!! Why does the iOS version of Play Books get updated before the Android version? "The Google Play Books app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices is getting a major update that will greatly enhance your reading experience. You can now add bookmarks, highlight text, and take notes in your books. These will all be synced to the cloud and appear in your other devices and apps where the features are enabled." This is ridiculous. Android is your own OS, but yet us Android users have to wait until after you offer these features to iPhone users, first?? Poor. Very Poor Google.

This app is fine for reading novels in straight-through fashion. However, if you want to highlight, add notes, etc., this app won't work. It won't even display highlights, etc., that have been made on the Google Books web site. I wish that coding had gone into those essential functions instead of the fancy page turn effect.
Jakob 2.0 stars
I really like having a built in book app. The page turning is beautiful, but, EVERY SINGLE TIME I multitask back to the app, the bottom bar never goes away. I have to exit my book and go back for the bar to drop. That cost 3 stars.

This reader does not let you highlight or bookmark as others do. The animation is great but it also lacks more options for themes. Solid white or solid black are both too high in contrast. Either an option for beige pages or dark gray or even custom would be ideal.

The book store on google doesn't have asany books as amazon does, but this app is much better than the kindle app. On tablets, more text on the screen, which means less page turning. On the phone its a bit better with that animation. Syncing is perfect, probably better than kindle (I've had a number of problems in the past with it) a dictionary would be nice, as well as highlighting. People complaining about pinch to zoom... you don't use it nearly as much as you think and you can live with out it.

I'm not sure what everyone else is talking about. It always saves my pages, pinch to zoom works on my phone also. LG Optimus Q. I would love a highlight and copy and paste feature. Other than that, the app works great, I love the night mode, this app is pretty good but could use a few updates.

On scanned books the app REALLY needs a way to maintain a different zoom level (one that zooms out the often large and empty margins) throughout as opposed to having to readjust at evry turn of a page. This alone would make me and a number of my colleagues 95% satisfied. In the meantime 1 star.

Automatically starts reading aloud whenever I open it on my GNex. Can't make it stop doing this. So annoying! Also, hardly any features -- for example, no ability to highlight or make notes.

Although I was happy with the new features, I came a problem that came along with the new format.

I downloaded two demos.and could not permanently delete a book.

If you want to be able to buy a book, and read it in seconds, be able to read in the dark (without hurting your eyes), then what more do you want. I found plenty of free books available on this app, and it is very easy to buy a book as well. Managed to get a hold of a taster book, and moments later purchased the whole book. You can buy a book starting from a £1, but if like me you are a mad fan of "The Walking Dead" you can buy the first book on it, (Or read the sample as I did first) and then just buy it!

I've just downgraded my rating to 3 stars because this app hasn't developed like it should. Where is the dictionary tool? What about notes and highlighting?

Design is flawless, the ICS theme is cool looking. Fonts read well, and the day modes are effective. But this forgets about the large number of people who markup books with notes and a highlighter.

Sorry this is an important part of reading for me, so the app loses a few points.Once it has that I feel like it'll be the best ebook app out there.

No notes. No highlight feature. No dictionary. Can't even bookmark pages, at least I couldn't see a way to. Kindle for Android is far superior. Sucks because I downloaded a book for study from the market, now I'm stuck with this weak reader...

I live in Italy. Why does the book store refuse to allow me to buy English titles of my choice. If you look for the "The Arctic Event" by Robert Ludlum, you will not find it. Of course you can find it in Italian, but that is good for Italians. If you are of another mother tongue, then you better download Amazon kindle and there you will be able to buy it in English.

I absolutely love the interface and the widget is fantastic, but I don't like the fact that I can't import books into the app, and I really don't want to buy the books twice. I can import books on Kindle and Nook and even my girlfriends iBooks can have books imported! It doesn't make much sense because google play music allows the user to import songs not bought from the play store so why can't you import books? When/If this happens then 5 starts without a doubt.

I have a nook, so I don't have any use for this. If I could sync my books through my computer I would but Play only allows for one source folder.

I never thought I'd prefer reading on my phone to my Sony ereader, but my phone is always with me and with this app it's easier to buy/download books and the UI is great.

MUST add upload capability for previously purchased .epub and .pdf books.. Similar to Google Music, when you come late to the game (ripped CDs/itunes for music, kindle/nook for books), you have to allow uploading of previously purchased content. No one wants to carry multiple book apps. The page turn animation is spectacular and the UI overall is very clean.

The current version is buggy and lacks some important features like bookmarks and highlighting text. Still, it is quite impressive, especially when showing the original scanned pages of old books, of which there should be more
