"E-Reading Takes To The Cloud"
Sorry, what?
How is this any more cloud-y than a Kindle, or whatever also-ran B&N has, or the iTunes books thing? Not to say that it isn't cool (personally, I'm surprised it uses Adobe's eBook DRM format instead of something simpler and more open), but the cloudiness of this is far less notable than the weird fact that Google's getting into this industry.
