Remember not that long ago when Google finally launched its massive online catalogue of eBooks, Google Editions and then changed it to a store and called it Google Books? Well, Google launched this massive online eBook store to compete directly with eBook (and book) giant Amazon.com and others… and then things got really quiet.
Until now. Mashable has a post on Google’s recent acquisition of eBook Technologies, a company that specializes in the distribution of eBooks and eBook Readers. Read the Mashable article. You’ll see that further investigation shows Google appears to be in the process of creating its own intelligent reading devices based on eBook Technologies’ prototype ETI-1 eBook Reader first seen in the late 1990s.
Very interesting development…
