Google Will Release Electronic Books Sales Platform Known As Google Editions
All of the e-books are stored in one cloud library, and after readers buy books, they can download and read in any countries at any time by using any networked reading tools, including computers, smart phones and e-readers. Google will put all the books into the same on-line library, Reader can decide where to buy books and where to read them on their own. But the prices are decided by the publishers.Google Editions would provide three patterns of selling e-book, Readers are supposed to buy the books through Google website, cooperative network bookstores, publishers` Websites. The income of the digital books sold on Google website will be shared in a ratio of 37:63 by Google and publisher; If the books are sold through cooperative network bookstores, the publishers will get 45%, while the remaining 55% will go to the bookstores and Google. But the profit allocation plan is not settled for independent selling by publishers. There have been some on-line bookstores involved in this activity at the present time, these bookstores are likely to become the first Google Editions cooperative network bookstores.
Google says that there will be about 400 thousand to 600 thousand e-books available when this platform is launched. Readers can purchase on Google, or from other online store such as Amazon.
