But we all need to realize that there is no free lunch. A company like Google must make money somehow in order to pay for what they do. Most people would balk at having to pay a subscription fee for the privilege of viewing the books. Putting up advertisements is a way to get the income to do what they do without customers paying for the product directly, so not feeling the "pinch."

 Umm Google Play Books is a store where you buy books just like Amazon/Kindle, Kobo, B&N/Nook, etc.
