Google books

Hi guys

Has anyone here bought any books from Google Books? I wanted to
know if they have availabe formats like pdf for downloading to PC. I see
they support responsive designs for phones and different readers, but
I don't know if they allow to download as files to PC. I don't want to
download a book I buy in a library and then waste days trying to manage
it in a different format.

"For reading on e-readers or third-party apps, ebooks can be downloaded
in the EPUB ("flowing text") or PDF ("scanned pages") formats. The advantage
of EPUB has over PDF is that it allows the book's text to adjust or 'reflow'
automatically to different screen sizes. Books of which only a PDF version is
available can be difficult to read on smaller screens." - from Wiki on Google Books

It says nothing about PC compatible. Kindle has them DRMed, but you can get
a program to remove the DRM, but then there's the issue that some books, like
the book below, it has a crappy format for epub/mobi.

Btw, the book looks pretty good, I think it's printable format.

Take a look at the book on Google Play Books

Take a look at the on Amazon as Kindle

I would get it from Amazon for Kindle, but their ebook format is crap. I don't
know why they don't allow a download for the printable version OR get someone
to make it look better.

Thanks.

I regularly search for books (mostly audio - it's what I listen too when I go to bed) on torrents and peer2peer and find many times .pdf en epub books. I have no experience with google books.
Is there a specific title you are looking for?

Yes, the one in the links: The Bread Builders.

Yeah sorry, thougt it was a general example
http://read.dailyebook.xyz/?book=1890132055 (don't know if that site is any good)
I don't find this book in torrents or my p2p client.

I also didn't find it anywhere, yet. I would buy the Kindle one but I don't
like the format. If the Google book is the same, it would suck to spend
20-25 Euros and not enjoy reading it.
