Google eBooks


There's been a lot of talk about whether bookstores can coexist peacefully with ebooks, but here on this website, the proof: they can. You can now buy a Google eBook from WORD and read it on your nook, Kobo, iPhone, iPad, or Droid device. Much like reading a paper book, it's easy, fun, and still one of the most affordable and satisfying forms of entertainment money can buy. WORD is here to sell you the books you want to read, whichever way you want to read them!

For more information on how to buy a Google eBook and how to use it, check out the FAQ page. And to buy a book, start with some of our recommendations below, or search in the box to the right. Check back frequently, as many of our favorite books have not yet been made into eBooks, and we'll be sure to feature classics and WORD staff favorites as they become available. And if you want to mix a little human contact with your ereading experience, feel free to email us at info@wordbrooklyn.com, either to ask us for help (we've all bought and read books on our devices, so we can help talk you through it) or just to tell us what you're reading and how you're liking it.

Be sure to check back frequently for new ebook picks and deals! Or sign up for our staff picks newsletter, which always includes ebook recommendations.

The Imperfectionists is filled to the brim with stories and characters spanning continents and decades. From different vantage points we meet the same people, colored in entirely different ways dependant on the observer. At the finish, my mind was swimming with all the people I'd spent these 269 pages with. (Simone)

When Harry Met Molly (Google eBook)

$7.99
Model: tDi1X___kA8C
Published: St. Martin's Paperbacks, 11/2010
From the same author and series as WORD favorite Cloudy With A Chance of Marriage, this Regency romance is as scandalous and racy as you want a good beach read to be. One of the most dramatic finales I've ever read in a book! (Stephanie)

If you aren't already aware of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, you should be. Time travel meets historical fiction meets romance with a heavy dose of men in kilts, and they're all available in ebook! Instant gratification on so many levels. Start with this one, and see if you don't get hooked. (Jenn)

Everyone who saw Lama Das speak at the store this year is still thinking about it; his Buddhist approach to time management is a breath of fresh air (sometimes even literally!). This is the book for everyone who thinks they don't have enough time to read anymore. (Jenn and Stephanie)

Mudbound (Google eBook)

Model: eUNS7oNfClwC

A fine, suspenseful, and dark read in which you can't trust any of the characters, but somehow the truth outs itself anyway.

Ohhhhhhhhh, we love Simon Van Booy. Read this book and you will too (for reasons beyond his having a delightful British accent).
