I still can't get over Google Play Books


There's even worse now: Google Play For Work: https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/answer/6137711?hl...


Similarly, I can't believe the iOS App Store is still heavily under the iTunes umbrella (at least online, I don't really use iOS enough to know what the device experience is like).


Eh you can use an idevice without ever needing to launch iTunes on a PC.


Really I was speaking more of the website than iTunes itself. If you browse the App Store online it's all under the iTunes website (with plenty of iTunes branding thrown in). It makes no sense.


Too bad Google Reader is already taken... oh wait.


What happened?


Google decided to rename Android Market to Google Play and along the way decided to rename the siblings apps as well : Google Play Movies Google Play Games Google Play Books


I think this refers to the branding. Is google making an app for football and baseball teams to collaborate on playbooks?
