The Google Play store will soon begin selling and renting digital textbooks, supplies of which college students often spend close to $1000 purchasing each year.
Textbooks can be bought or rented for about six months, account to Samantha Murphy, who reported from the tech website Mashable. Some of the major subjects come to the textbook collection to start will include math, law, accounting and chemistry, but as the section becomes successful, more genres will be added.
Google announced that the textbooks will be available for up to an 80 percent discount and will offer titles from the top five publishers.
Salvador Rodriguez, who reported on the story for the Los Angeles Times on Friday, said that the new Google service will compete directly with Amazon, which offers a similar service through its Kindle e-reader and mobile apps.
