If I physically own a book can I have it on Google Books?

Q. I have a library at home. I want to have my books where ever I go. Alot of these books are on google books. Can I have them online too. Or do I need to purchase them again?

A. You would need to purchase them. Google Books typically only has preview for a certain amount of pages - especially newer books - so you can't read the whole thing.

A. You can read the entire "Wizard of Oz" book through Google Book Search, I believe. I only say this because it isn't illegal. The publishers clearly felt okay about everyone reading it.

When you buy a sony reader 505 can you get any google book on it for free?
Q. I'm looking at buying a sony reader 505 to lessen the amount of books I need to carry. I went on google books and found that some of my high school textbooks were available on it. I was wondering will I be able to get any book on google books unto my sony reader without having to buy it.

A. I'm a college student too. I owned the Kindle 2 and I've got some textbooks on my Kindle. Indeed, I'll recommend you to get the Kindle instead of Sony Reader. If you can get the Google book in PDF format, they will be readable on both the Kindle and Sony Reader. However, the Kindle has better feature and more content available (as it is supported by Amazon) compared to the Sony Reader. There is an article compare the Kindle 2 and the latest version of Sony Reader:

Not only the Kindle has more content available, but also Amazon has signed contract with three major textbook publishers so eventually 60% of textbook will be available on the Kindle, and they will be cheaper than the actual textbooks. There is a discussion about textbook on the Kindle here:

I'll recommend you to read this review on the Kindle 2 too, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the ebook reader:

Hope this helps.
