Google has been wanting to enter the world of ebooks for years, just like Microsoft. But the introduction of the first is being gradual, very slow. To the extent that there are functions that are currently coming to the app and that many Google competitors not only incorporated it but have already scrapped it.
This is the case of the latest update of Google Play Books, an update that allows users to buy ebooks and give them to friends or relatives.
This is allowed thanks to the latest update of Google Play Books, after which it will appear in the app menu the possibility of giving away the purchased ebook. After this and enter the email of the person to whom we want to give the ebook, Google will send an email to the user with the steps you have to do to get the ebook as a gift, something that will be for them and that they will not be able to reuse or return, at least for the moment.
Google will allow us to give away ebooks through Google Play Books
The operation is almost equal to gift cards but in this case we select the ebook that we want to give away and it is not a credit card for the Google Play Store, although these types of cards also exist for Google users.
In any case, this novelty within the Google ecosystem is already known and practiced by many. Something that will not surprise the most digital readers but it does surprise the good rhythm that Google is having in this part of its business. And it is that despite not having made large investments in software or devices, nor having their own eReader, Google continues to grow little by little within the sector, being increasingly one of the most popular ebookstores among users. But How long will this last?
