There's an old saying anything worth doing is worth doing twice. I think google lives by this motto except they replaced twice with "ten fold".

Most of their services start as utter crap and then are developed to get better and better to the point they become best in class.

Their bookstore is no different. My first impression of their BookReader app and store was "Not worth my time". However some changes they have made are making their product much better to use. From a user perspective I think their purchasing process and syncronization is the best. Even better than Amazon. Their BookReader is good enough for basic reading, but their eReader is still not as good as Amazon or Moon+/Montano.

What I've found about Google is everything is great until you need customer/tech support then you are on your own because thier support is virtually non existent.
