The web version of Android Market, an online software store developed by Google for Android devices, has reportedly begun to display e-books. Users need to click the 'Books' tab at the top of the page, which will load the e-book interface. The default interface is 'Apps', which also has a number of 'Books and Reference' apps, but no path to the Books portion of the site.
Once downloaded, the e-book will be added to the user's Google account. According to a Google spokesman, users can also 'return' an e-book if it does not perform as described.
Earlier this month, Google unveiled the web version of Android Market, which allowed users to sample all of the Market's apps in a single web page, rather than on an Android device. By selecting and buying an app on the web store, users can push the app to a selected Android device. Google also announced support for in-app purchases.
Media reports have noted that e-books could be the gateway for Google's long-awaited Google Music service. It is expected that the service may possibly be rolled out along with Google's Honeycomb Android 3.0 operating system.
