Google ebooks will be available for direct purchase through the Story HD. There are currently over 3 million books available from Google.

The design of the Story HD is very similar to that of the Kindle but with a higher resolution screen. The new Story HD will retail for $139.99 and will be available starting on July 17th in Target stores nationwide. More information is available at the iriver website.
