Random quote: My pass had disappeared. Not that I believed for a moment that this was an accident; in fact, I had suspected for some time now that the Cosmic Command, obviously no longer able to supervise every assignment on an individual basis when there were literally trillions of matters in its charge, had switched over to a random system. The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail. The Universe itself operated on the same principle. And for an institution as everlasting as the Universe certainly our Building was such an institution the speed at which these meanderings and perturbations took place was of no consequence. - Stanislaw Lem (Memoirs Found in a Bathtub)

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.
