Google eBooks has been launched in the United States with thousands of titles available to download, The Bookseller revealed today.

The e-books are due to be stored in an online library which will allow them to be read across netbooks, tablets, smartphones and e-book readers, and users will be able to access the books just as they would access their Gmail account.
