The mighty search engine Google are to launch their own book store online this summer. The internet giant will put thousands of titles for sale online.

According to The Guardian, ‘anyone with a Google account will be able to access these boks, while retail sites will be able to embed a Google Editions book store on their own sites. Those sites will take the majority of any margins on sale, and Google also takes a bite.’

Google Editions is set to launch in June or July this year.

Those who cannot do, write about – or so they say. Aside from the site, Paul has directed a music video (badly), has one credit to his name on the IMDb, enjoys running, driving (now that he has finally passed his test at the age of 33), and of course going to the movies.
