Google launched a short time ago its own e-books service on the iPhone and iPad, and so it is an additional party to the e-book war on mobile devices to enter the competition with Kindle from Amazon and iBooks from Apple. The Google Books service has been available for nearly six years, and it is the first step to providing the service on mobile devices, including an app for iOS and another for Android.

The eBook service from Google is good and I did a quick test of the program and this is my personal opinion:
The program has the basic advantages of any book program, such as changing fonts, enlarging or minimizing them, and also the important search feature, but there is no way so far that enables you to select a section of the book or something similar to copy it, for example, the program also greatly lacks a good interface such as the shelves in iBooks and also The XNUMXD page-turn feature is present in it, but it is somewhat poor if we compare it to the one in iBooks. The program also lacks the presence of Arabic books even if you find Arabic books, the browsing will also be from left to right, such as the iBoosks program, and as for the book buying service, it is now available in the states USA only, although you can download the free books available in Google Books directly.
