My question is: has anyone bought books from Google ebookstore? If so, how is the formatting and content (have proper hyperlinks, TOC, etc.) ?

I bought some books from Kobo and unfortunately they didn't turn out great when read in ADE. I think it's because Kobo uses two formats, Kepub and Adobe DRM, and puts more energy into the kepub format.

I'm looking for another source of epub provider that'll be reputable, so then it'll be another store to price compare. How is Google ebookstore's books?
I've never tried them. Do they offer samples/previews of the books?
