1. read google play books on pc in browser

google does not offer reader app for pc like kindle for pc, nook for pc etc. and we can’t download the google books directly to our computer to read. we have to read those books in the browser. In other words, read google play books online. We can read books on Google Play using our computer by visiting the site play.google.com/books.

After entering the above site, click the “buy” icon and then find a book you like to read. if it is loaded, of course you need to buy it first. if it is a free book, you can read it in the browser immediately. click the arrows in the lower right corner of your browser window to turn the pages or use the page slider at the bottom of your window.

You can choose many books you like and they will appear in the “my library” column. Later, when you want to read the books, just go to the site and click on the book cover to open it. You can also load other epub books on your computer and read them. charging is simple. just go to your personal collection within play books and click the “uploads” icon in the top right sidebar. A window will appear asking you to select or drag the e-books you are interested in. then they will show up in the library, along with purchased books.

2. read google play books on your pc with e-reading apps

scenario 1: reading with adobe digital editions

1Buy and download google play books on computer.

buy the book you want, then go to the book information page and choose “how to read“.

then scroll the page to the bottom. there are two options for you: download epub or download pdf. you can choose the format you like best. either is fine.

after the download completes, you will get an .acsm file. it cannot be read directly because the acsm file is not a real book and you need to download the real book with the adobe digital editions. please follow my steps.

2Download and install Adobe Digital Editions. and authorize your computer with an Adobe ID.

If you are not prompted to authorize an ade the first time you open it, you can go to “help->authorize computer” to start the process manually.

then a window will appear. If you have an Adobe ID, enter it along with your password. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, click “Create an Adobe ID” to create one. Once you’re done, return to the “Computer Authorization” dialog and enter your Adobe ID and password. click “authorize”, your computer is now authorized with your adobe id.

3open acsm in adobe digital editions.

find your acsm file, double click on it and then ade will download the book automatically. here i click on an acsm file. then this window appears, and this means that ade is downloading the real book. downloaded books are in epub or pdf format. After downloading the books, you can open and read them in Adobe Digital Editions on your computer.

scenario 2: read with any other e-reader app you like

There are many other e-reading applications that can offer us a better reading experience, you may not like Adobe Digital Editions when comparing with others. If you don’t like reading books very much, you can consider reading the books you just downloaded with other free programs that you like. but first you need to remove drm from these books. With the drm restriction, you can only read the google books you buy from ade. After removing drm from google play books, you can also transfer your google books to another computer to read them without doing anything else. (Of course, you can then transfer them to tablets or e-ink readers that support epub or pdf format for free reading.) You can also share your good books with your family and friends as the books are no longer drm blocked.

1Get all drm removal tool and remove drm from books.

windows version download mac version download

download it and install it on your computer. Run this program, it will load your google play books in the program’s book list. just drag and drop the books from right to left. During this short process, the drm will be removed from the book. (This is the most convenient way to remove drm from google play books without doing anything else).

then the decrypted books will be listed on the left. you can right click on your book and choose “browse output folder” to see where your decrypted books are saved.

2read these google play books on pc with any other software you want.

Now you get the google play books without drm, you can read them with any other reading software you like. such as caliber, sumatra pdf, fb reader, etc. they also offer us a good reading experience. you can choose one you like. Personally, I like the feeling of reading with Sumatra PDF this software (I hope this name doesn’t mislead you, as it supports many eBook formats, not just PDF). you can take a brief look at the image below.
