Google’s on-line document editor allows modern web browsers like Chrome, without local storage or applications, to perform word processing. Google added text features that aren’t native to browsers — for example a ruler for controlling the margins, text that wraps around images and collaborative discussions for editors.
Today Google is offering a classic word processing feature — pagination. Pagination adds visual page breaks while you’re editing your documents, so now you can see how many pages of that report you’ve actually finished.
The ability to see visual pages on your screen can improve the way other features work too: headers now show up at the top of each page instead of just at the top of your doc, manual page breaks actually move text onto a new page and footnotes appear at the bottom of the pages themselves.
They’re also using pagination and some of Chrome’s capabilities to improve how printing works in Google Docs. Pagination is rolling out now and should be available to everyone by the end of the day.
Google Docs collaboration capabilities have improved with support for up to 50 people working together at once, and in documents, you can now see other people’s edits as they happen character-by-character.
Google has created a new Books section of the Android Market. The Books tab shows up if you’re running the Market app on a tablet with Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb, such as the Motorola XOOM. But you can also browse the book listings in the web version of the Android Market by visiting market.android.com/books in a browser.
You don’t need an Android tablet to use the new books directory. You can select any title and click the “Get it Now” button to add it to your Google Books account. From there you can read the title on any computer with a web browser, or access the books from a mobile device running the Google Books app for Android or iOS. The Barnes & Noble NOOK and Sony Reader eBook readers also support Google Books.
