College is all fun and games, until you try to lift that 20-pound bag of textbooks. But Google wants to lend a hand.
The Web giant is joining the e-textbook revolution, this week rolling out a new Google Play feature for purchasing and renting digital textbooks.
Students can visit the Books section of the mobile store to find a long list of publishing partners and a comprehensive selection of higher-education titles, with everything from science to math to history to English.
Google Play Launches Line of Discounted Textbooks
"With digital textbooks, there's no need to worry about which ones you have with you and which ones you left in your dorm room," Scott Dougall, director of product management at Google, wrote in a blog entry. "Because your library is stored in the cloud, you have instant access to the titles you need — when you need them — on your Android tablet, phone, iOS device, and on the Web."
