mainArs Technica reports Google is releasing a new version of the Android Market that will include support for renting movies and buying books. It is rolling out gradually to US Android device users, and will probably be included with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, the next version of the OS to be released.

The Ars piece reviews the usability of the app, which fixes some interface issues present in prior versions. There are a few minor glitches—in some cases it can be hard to tell whether items being promoted for sale are books or movies—but all in all it seems to be an improvement.
