Google is apparently preparing to launch an e-book service by Christmas with the big unique feature being that the books you purchase will be linked to your Google account so you can access them from pretty much any kind of device rather than having the book downloaded to one or a few proprietary devices.
In related news, it’s not official yet but Google’s all but confirmed to be buying social coupon site, Groupon for $5-6 billion. In related news, the service recently launched in Regina and today, I just made my first purchase – a 50% off groupon/coupon for one of Regina’s best restaurants.
