In your "My Books" section, each book has three vertical dots in the bottom right corner. That's the icon for the "Options" menu, from which you can choose to download the book.

Help re downloading books:
https://support.google.com/googlepla...r/179863?hl=en It's really not obvious for a first-time user. I had to search online help the first time I bought a book. I hadn't even noticed those three little dots, and even if I had, it never would have occurred to me that they represented a menu button. I also buy epubs from booksamillion.com and once you've bought a book there, it has a link that says "download". |

Sometimes download is not available for a particular book.

Are we talking about the same thing?
Google Books (books.google.com) is an archive that Google made to digitize every book ever written. You cannot download books - only search for snippets within them. Google sells books on Google Play (play.google.com/store/books). --MH |

As dynabook says, go to play.google.com/store/books and log in using your gmail account.
I just downloaded the free "Alice in wonderland" epub. Worst ever formatting I've seen, and I've seen some. |
