For some time the web version of the Google market allowed users to buy books and rent movies; but there was no way of doing so from the Android app. Not very integrated and difficult to use. The new market has tighter integration with android devices. Users can purchase books and immediately launch the reader app, so claims googles video. The same is true for movie rentals.
Not sure if this is enough for folks to start buying books from Google. But the user experience has now greatly enhanced, in my opinion. BTW notice how much the new store looks like a combination of Amazon's appstore and WM7(new look).
