In the future we hope to offer the add the ability to purchase a Google eBook as a gift for a friend, along with physical and digital gift cards so they can take their time and choose that perfect book on their reading wish list!
Make sure you get the whole book and not just the sample, there is/was a glitch in the download and I'm not sure if they've fixed it yet. Link for the workaround.

It's a DRMed Adobe epub that you download, there should be instructions available for how to get that to your Kobo, same procedure that you would use for library books after using Adobe Digital Editions probably.

It only gave me the options for Android and browser when I grabbed a free book to try it out. Ignore that and go to My Books after you purchase, click on the How to Read tab and scroll down to get to the download options.

The site is lacking bells and whistles and isn't easy to navigate. I give it a D.
