Google is set to launch its own online e-book store in 2010 (by end of summer 2010). Google Editions books will not be tied to a specific device, unlike rival e-book company Amazon.
"It is a different approach to what most readers today have and the vision is to be able to access books in a device agnostic way," said Google spokesperson Gabriel Sticker.
To date Google has scanned over 12 million books, both in-print and out-of-print, giving it a greater selection of material than either Apple or Amazon.
