Google Playbooks Now Offers Audio Books

Note, on iOS you can search for and sample books, but you can’t purchase them as Google wants to avoid paying Apple 30 percent, so use the website for Google play Books or just use Google Play Books on Android where you can sample, put them on a wish list or buy the book.
