I've just fired up the Play Store on my Note II, there's a new blue 'Books' tab. Clicking on it allows you to look at books available, there's even a section called 'New Zealand Reads'.

However looking at any title it comes up with a message saying it isn't available. No pricing is listed either.

Anyone else getting the same?

Hopefully Movies & TV come soon too!

Anybody know how Google books works? Can you download them to another ereader, kindle or kobo etc or do you have to view them over a google device?

Yep, 3 old books like Frankenstein and Pride and Prejudice and Wonderful stories for children.

Easily removed though
