The web search giant said yesterday it would launch Google Editions in the first half of next year, initially offering about half a million e-books in partnership with publishers with whom it already cooperates. Readers will be able to buy e-books either directly from Google or from online stores such asAmazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com. Google will host the e-books and make them searchable. The announcement comes a week afterAmazon said it would introduce the Kindle into 100 countries outside the US. Google Editions will allow Google to make money for the first time from one of its book ventures which also include the Google Books project aiming to index mil- lions of books through partnerships with libraries, over which a US lawsuit involving publishers is ongoing. Google will share revenue with publishers and online retailers where readers buy Google-hosted books through a retailers site.
