Google Play Will Soon Let You Buy and Rent Textbooks
Google announced on Wednesday huge news for students: You can soon buy and rent textbooks for tablets via its Google Play store.
The company announced during a press event in San Francisco that it's adding a new channel for digital textbooks, starting in August and just in time for the school year. Users can access these textbooks via the web, Android and iOS devices.
Although no information was given about pricing, Google said we will see a "comprehensive selection of titles" from five major publishing houses. Textbooks can be purchased or rented for about six months. Content will also be available up to an 80% discount.
