Talk about book news lately!

First, Google released the first books for their Google Print service. Since they were getting sued to crap the first time they tried to start doing this, I’m sure everyone has heard about Print by now…

I guess the real news is what I read over on Ed Bott’s blog. According to Ed (and he’s usually a trustworty source… ;)), the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Amazon has announced plans for two new services that will integrate with their massive online store.

The quote:

Amazon.com Inc. is planning a program that will let customers purchase online access to books in a move that could be a more publisher-friendly alternative to Google Inc.
