Random quote: "I believe the way toward mastery of any endeavor is to work toward simplicity; replace complex technology with knowledge. The more you know, the less you need. From my feeble attempts at simplifying my own life I've learned enough to know that should we have to, or choose to, live more simply, it won't be an impoverished life but one richer in all the ways that really matter."

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.
