The Internet search giant said mobile versions of the books optimized to be read on a small screen could be read on devices such as the Apple iPhone or T-Mobile G1, which is powered by Google's Android software.Users can access the mobile version of Google Book by typing in http://books.google.com/m into their iPhone or Android phone web browser. "We are excited to announce the launch of a mobile version of Google Book Search, opening up over 1.5 million mobile public domain books in the US (and over half a million outside the US) for you to browse," the company said.

Amazon, on the other hand, will offer the latest releases and 230,000 titles, including 103 of the 112 current New York Times bestsellers.
