Google is taking its e-reader efforts international with the launch of Google Books in the UK. The once US-only service features thousands of books for purchase as well as a selection of over two million public domain ebooks available at no cost. Along with the ability to purchase and download books, the newly updated Google Books app is now available for handsets outside the US. The application requires Android 2.1 or higher. Through the app users can access the Android Market’s selection of books. The ability to browse titles online via a desktop browser should go live soon.
