Google Editions, Google's online ebookstore, will launch by the end of the year in the US. Google Editions has been described as a web-centric, buy-anywhere, read-anywhere platform, one that eschews the proprietary hardware and software model currently championed by the likes of Amazon for a more ubiquitous and accessible one. Retail pricing won't differ, we're told, from what Amazon and Barnes & Noble currently charge.
Small websites of all creeds, whether they be independent bookstores or book reviewers, will be encouraged to participate by linking their users to Google Editions of whatever scriptures they're discussing -- with an unannounced revenue sharing model. [Engadget]
