Books

Use the Books app to read eBooks from the web-based Google
Books service. Google eBooks is a new way to discover, buy, and
enjoy your favorite books online and offline.
You can read books online or mark them for availability offline, so
you can read them when you have no Internet connection (such
as on an airplane). You can also use Books as your starting point
for browsing or searching for books on line.
