Google on Friday announced that digital textbooks from several big name publishers are now available for purchase in the Google Play Store. If you’re heading to college or have an offspring destined for higher education, the search giant claims you can save up to 80 percent compared to buying print textbooks this fall.
The new category was first announced during the second generation Nexus 7 and Chromecast launch event last month. Through the Google Play Store, buyers can elect to purchase digital versions of textbooks or rent them for a period of six months – roughly the length of a typical college semester.
