US Internet giant Google said on September 13 it would launch an electronic books service in Japan next year despite a chilly reception from major Japanese publishers. Google Books shows a small portion of the book at a time for free, while Google Editions offers access the entire content of the scanned books for a price.
In the United States and Europe, Google plans to start Editions and sell electronic books that people can read on any Internet-connected device including Apple's hot-selling iPad tablet computer.
