Google eBooks at 25% off!
Pegasus Books now selling Google eBooks

We now sell Google eBooks. The American Booksellers Association has partnered with Google to bring you another way to own a book: accessible from almost every devide (sorry, not the Kindle). The greatest difference this new format brings is the cloud, which stores your library in your account, not on the device, allowing access to your e-book from your smartphone, computer, iPad and your e-reader---all for the cost of one download.
