Google may open an e-book store this year.
In principle, "can open" - not quite the right phrase, the probability that this does happen is 99%. Initially, the launch will take place only for the United States, then, already in 2011, a book store will be available for residents of other countries. At the present time, according to rumors, the range of books is gradually replenishing, work is being carried out with publishers and in parallel with the preparation of the store itself for launch. Interestingly, Google has not yet commented on such rumors.
In principle, Google has all the opportunities to run its own store - there is money, there are developers, there are a huge number of potential buyers. It is possible that after launching a new store will become a worthy competitor to Amazon. It is worth noting that with the advent of competing services, Amazon is experiencing a decline in the e-book market. Previously, the company's share was about 90% in the e-book market in the United States, but now this figure has dropped to about 55%.
According to experts, this situation is due to the emergence and popularization of Apple services, the Barns & Noble store and others. It seems that with the advent of Google’s e-book store for Amazon, quite difficult times will come on the e-book market. Although, it’s not yet a fact that the project of a “corporation of good” will become popular.

At first, more than half a million e-books should appear in the Google e-books online store, and the range will only increase over time. This automatically makes the project from Google equivalent to competitive services from Amazon, Apple and others. In principle, this situation is good news - the higher the competition, the greater the variety of books and the lower the price. It would be interesting to look at the new project from Google, although there is not much left to wait.
By the way, if anyone thought that Google would immediately release its own e-reader, as it is fashionable among current IT companies, it’s wrong. According to the management of the corporation, so far there will be no readers from Google. On the other hand, it may be deliberate misinformation in order to create more excitement at the release of such a gadget. In general, time will tell.
