Learners - "Upload course PDFs and/or ePUBs to Google Play Books"

Google have announced a great update to Google Play Books. 

Practitioners and learners can now upload their own PDFs and EPUB files to Google Play Books. 

Why is this so great?

Well...

• upload files and they can be read on an iPad or Android device with the Google Play Books app. 
• when files are uploaded users will be able to bookmark, highlight, and use the dictionary tools just like they can with any other book in the Google Books app. 

Learners can use the new upload option to add study guides and notes to Google Play Books to take them anywhere in a digital format. 
Yet another reason to provide resources to learners as pdfs.
