Google Play Books now allows the user to upload their own books.

On Habré, quite a while ago, there was no news about Google Play Books , the platform that allows you to buy books, plus read some of them for free. In this case, all user data (bookmarks, last read page, etc.) are synchronized on all user devices that use Google Play Books. Reading lovers can be satisfied: the developers have released an update that added the ability to download their own books, which, accordingly, appear on all user devices.

You can download a limited number of books, but the limit is quite decent - it is 1000 books / documents. It seems that this number of books is enough to create your own virtual library. Downloadable books should be in the format of EPUB or PDF, plus there is the ability to import books already stored in your Google Drive account. The size of the loaded book / document should not exceed 50 MB.

You can read downloaded books either using a specialized application for Android and iOS, or through a browser on a desktop PC / laptop / netbook. As mentioned above, all data will be synchronized, on all user devices.

Of course, there are downsides. For example, you cannot save books from Google Play Books, making them available locally. You cannot read them in any other way, only through the Google Books mobile app and browser.

But there are more pluses than minuses. Among other things, it is worth noting the updated service interface, which looks somewhat more convenient for use than before.
