Agreed. No PDF / other eBook format support, no go for me. Too bad too, it’s such a nice app.

RepliGo PDF Reader is number 1 for me right now.

I plan on making most future purchases on Amazon, the question was how to read my current library of books from Google Play, on the Kindle. I don’t want to purchase these books all over again.

I would suggest just buying the book from Amazon and using the Kindle app on your Tablet/Phone. It is much easier, and then you also get Whispersync.

I would love to take more advantage of this, but I still think the price of many ebooks is just too high. For example, a series of children’s books that I have been buying my daughter in fully illustrated hardcover with about 20-30 pages each for $5 a piece is $13 a piece in Play Books. It would be nice to buy the collection for when we travel, but at over double the cost of the hardcover it seems a bit ridiculous. Now, I don’t know if this is Google’s fault or the publisher, but it sure does not make me too eager to buy. Also, the Audible versions are just $0.95 a piece.

Never thought of that. Though the same could be accomplished with either play books, or Google books.

Also agree the name is stupid, but one benefit is that they are all next to each other in the app drawer (Play Books, Play Music, Play Store etc.)
