Dan Clancy from Google to the Reuters news agency: “If Amazon Kindle allows users of the editions of Google, it would be easy to configure for the two companies to sell to buy.” In this scenario, there are two big “if.” First, Google is still in dispute with publishers, authors involved, and the Department of Justice on copyright and copyright. The legal part of that struggle could be months, perhaps years.

It is unlikely that Amazon will make electronic books as part of a series of actions on the Kindle would be. The Amazon could cause their own legal problems for the distribution of books with copyright problems.

Perhaps the biggest “if” is why Amazon will work with Google at all. Amazon has done a great job to create a library of electronic books and electronic journals, which now number 350,000. Google Book Addendum to the list of authors who may feel that the license fee structure of Google Books is unfair to give away. It could also help Google to compete with Amazon.

It remains unclear to what Google, with its shops pounds. You could set up distribution agreements with the Kindle from the competition. It would create and sell e-Reader itself. You can create free open source software for e-readers as they are running with the launch of Android for mobile phones.

Google and Amazon are probably the natural enemies in the e-Reader and e-book industry. That makes the Google proposal that the two do not form a relationship.
