Engadget reports that the Android Market has added a section for e-books, with music and movies apparently soon to come. Upon further research, the books turn out to be Google’s cloud-stored Google Books. The prices are, of course, set to agency standards and so not really anything to write home about.
It’s not clear that iBooks is any great danger here, but it’s good to see that Android users have another way to buy titles if they want it. And since these books are readable cross-platform, perhaps it might be more apt to compare them to Amazon or Barnes & Noble’s multi-platform offerings instead.
