My Way News - Google to launch platform for selling books online
My Way News reports: "Google will try to keep transactions simple, Turvey said, possibly by using its existing Google Checkout platform. Google will collect 55 percent of the revenue and turn a 'vast majority' of that to the retailers. The rest will go to the book's publisher, who will set prices."

Comment: Google is everywhere and soon the Google Checkout payment platform will be everywhere as well. We won't need a world currency, we will just be able to use Google on our smart phones, netbooks, personal computers and laptops.
