Google has been long time been working on its public domain books. That apparently is not enough. Now, it has announced that Google Edition e-book service will be available soon.

You will be able to buy digital copies of the ebook from its book search. Retailer will be able to sell their books through this service.

One great thing about this is it is not proprietary or at least it seems it is not. You will be able to view/read the e-books from any web connected device. This is really going to challenge Amazon Kindle and maybe Apples iPad based e-book readers. With rumours of Google coming out with Slate like device it will be great to see e-book war boiling up.
