Google Now Offers Over a Million Free Ebooks in EPUB Format

Have you noticed that Sony has launched its best ebook reader a couple of days ago, with an AT&T 3G modem for fast wireless connection? Not by accident, Google now announced they’re offering over a million public domain books in EPUB format - the exact format that Sony’s Daily Edition reader likes.

To download a book, search for a title over at Google Books. Public domain titles will have a download link in the upper right corner. Which brings us to the first major difference between the Kindle and this Google-Sony open book strategy: while Amazon only offers 300,000 titles, Google’s million books aren’t, for the most part, the most attractive ones, and Sony’s own ebook library doesn’t offer a choice as good as Amazon - at least when it comes to modern titles.
