Philadelphia indie bookstore customers no longer have to choose between reading digital and supporting their local booksellers.
The American Booksellers Association (ABA) announced last week that ABA member stores across the country with IndieCommerce websites are now selling Google eBooks™ online. Two of those are in Philadelphia: Joseph Fox Bookshop and Giovanni’s Room.
A Google eBook™ is a new form of cloud-based digital book that readers can access on almost any device, regardless of where the text was purchased — Kindle, iPad, Droid, computer, etc.
Google is offering hundreds of thousands of titles for sale, ranging from new releases to classics. Now Joseph Fox and Giovanni’s Room will add their collections to the inventory.
Browse the Google library online. Both bookstores also have a Google eBook™ search widget right on their site: Joseph Fox, Giovanni’s Room.
