Google and Amazon are planning to move towards the e-book market.

Times reports that Amazon plans to release a $ 400-500 Kindle e-book reader in October.

At the same time, Google , which has a search service for books , by the end of this year will provide users with the opportunity to purchase the full version of copyright books directly from this service. Naturally, Google will share profits with publishers.

Although the technology of e-books already exists for quite a long time, this method of filing books has not taken root among the people, since reading books on paper is much more convenient and, at least, just more familiar.

Times reports that the wireless connectivity available on the Kindle will not only download books and periodicals from the Amazon store, but also surf the web. The device will have a keyboard and scroll wheel.

As for the books themselves, Amazon already sells e-books on both Amazon.com and Mobipocket.com .

Google Book Search displays the full text of publicly owned books, and excerpts from books provided with copyright or copyright. For those interested in purchasing paper books, Google makes links to third-party online stores selling them.
