Google Play Books is another of the offers for reading that you have when you prefer a tablet or smartphone with a larger screen, those called phablets, for your favorite books or even comics. Play Books has gradually established itself as a competitor to take into account against the mammoth Amazon with its Kindle.
Google is now when it has launched further update to its ebook app for Android with a couple of interesting and useful features as well as some very peculiar detail hidden in the application code. It is among these novelties that stands out the ability to notify the user of the incorporation of a new book of that series that continues with delayed attention.
The first of the features is a search that suggest titles according to the list of books purchased by the user, in order to approach new books that may interest him. Another one of those novelties that we are used to in other services and that seems a standard for an app that offers good readings according to our tastes.
The second feature is the ability that Play Books now has to warn the user that there is a new book of that series to which he has been hooked. This is marked with a small medal on the series icon which is actually a small dot in blue.
This new functionality seems to be more useful for comics that are usually regularly updated with these new editions and which, by the way, are in good shape as we met a few days ago, breaking sales records.
Now it remains to be seen if Google will soon incorporate the book recommendations when they are mentioned in the videos, a functionality found in the code of the new version and that is not yet available.
