Google launches animated mobile books
Yesterday, Google revealed Editions at Play, a platform that sells original, digital books in an animated, interactive format. "We sell books that cannot be printed," says the website, and the demo footage reveals that to be very true, showcasing visual flourishes and non-traditional text formatting.
The books are ideally read on phones, but also work in your web browser, and two books are available so far: Entrances & Exits by Reif Larsen, and The Truth About Cats & Dogs by Sam Riviere and Joe Dunthorne. Both are rated on the approximate time it takes to read (an hour for the former, 30 minutes for the latter), and offer free samples to check out before buying anything.
