Competition is a good thing, but so far it doesn't seem to me that Google knows how to be a retailer. I posted about this on my own LJ (http://karen-w-newton.livejournal.com/201275.html). The emphasis on the "cloud" thing strikes me as a mistake. What made ebooks take off was downloading to an eReader and reading the book anywhere.
So, will this be another GMail (big hit) or another Google Wave (big bust)? Who can say?
