Default Google eBooks

Google unveiled its eBook Store today and launched an Android app as part of the process. I'd love to try it, but can't find the APK file to load it on my CN. Can any of you provide a link. Thanks.

Its on the market, and its free. A simple ADB pull and push will do the trick..

Thanks. My only Android device is my rooted NC, so the Android Market won't work for me. Or am I missing something?

The only problem with the books app is it asks for your account when you open the app. I was able to get around it by installing it to my droid first and then restoring the apk and data with titanium. Still not synced to my account but i can search fine so far. Haven't tried downloading any books from it just yet.

EDIT: I couldn't manage to download or read any books on my nc.

I installed but it doesn't work. Need to have a google account attach to it. I haven't figure out how to do that yet.

Figures. The NC hasn't been getting along with anything associated with google. That's been the case for me at least.

There is an app called WordPlayer that can access all the free books from Google Books.

Also, I tried a free book on it (I'm outside the USA) and it worked alright in the non-rooted web browser as well. Icons a bit small, not very responsive, but it works.

You can still get books from Google and sideload them onto the Nook. We all happen to have a pretty nice reader built into our devices.
