Random quote: "War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent." - George Orwell

I saw the announcement but I've not delved into it yet.  It seems that Google eBooks are not compatible with my Kindle.  That distresses me a bit since I just bought the darn thing.  Maybe they will be in future.

I tried to find a couple books from my reading list just now and had no luck.  A few that I did find were the same price as Amazon.  I'm guessing there won't be much of a price difference between the 2 but that Amazon has more books.  That will surely even out over time.

Anybody try the Google eBookstore?

Asimov's Foundation you are allowed to read 6 chapters.
