The change is that you can buy books now. Previously there were only free ones that were out of copyright.

I bought a book, Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Death by Black Hole, from Google Books when it launched a year ago.

You definitely have been able to buy ebooks for a long time. Are you talking about paper books?

Really? I thought it was only free books. Might be wrong, I use Kindle mostly.
