Your eBook on
Google Play Books.
Google Play Books reaches readers on Android phones, tablets and the web. We prepare your eBook, set up your Partner Center account and configure metadata and pricing.
Billions of Android devices, one bookstore.
Google Play Books is built into the Android ecosystem and is available on the web and on Apple devices through its app. It is an important store for readers outside the Apple and Amazon worlds.
Google also lets readers preview part of your book, and its search integration can help readers discover titles by topic. Getting the metadata right matters.
We prepare your file and listing in your own Google Play Books Partner Center account, so royalties are paid directly to you.

Auto-narrated or human narrated audio?
Google Play Books offers an option to create an auto-narrated audiobook from your eBook using synthetic voices. It can be a low-cost way to test demand for audio. For fiction, memoir and books where performance matters, a professionally narrated audiobook is usually the better long-term choice. Our audiobook production team can help you decide.
