Google entered the Canadian e-book market yesterday and is now selling digital titles there on its Google eBookstore website, as well as in partnership with booksellers McNally Robinson and Campus eBookstore, the Toronto Star reported.
"It’s like any other sale on our website," said Paul McNally of McNally Robinson. "We sell real books and now e-books."
CTV noted that the Google store "boasts partnerships with publishers including Penguin, Random House, HarperCollins, House of Anansi, Dundurn and McGill-Queen's University Press."
"We have every major publisher in Canada and a lot of very small Canadiana publishers," said Scott Dougall, director of product management for Google Books. "We're very aggressive about finding every single book that we can find."
