No return policy, you buy a book or audiobook, then you are stuck with it. I flipped through one and then listened to the first chapter of the other and wanted to return both items after not wanting them for different reasons. I realized I already owned the book in another app, that actually cost me a ton more through Google play, and the audiobook's narrator was awful. Yet even after appealing the decision twice, I was told they couldn't refund me. I AM A DIAMOND MEMBER! Never again using this!

Google Play Books to me, is a great digital book, library edition for any reader on any device. Its interface is easy to understand. However, it can be challenging for some who may suffer from certain brain conditions. The outside looks have a brand emblem that's crisp in colors. Now, I have to be candid, but I have bought some of my fav authors' books, samples, etc. But honestly, I don't like to read and I'm a writer, published. Yikes, I said that out loud! 🙊 Great Book Library, Google. 💯

Good user interface, with night mode, variety of fonts and text sizes, intuitive reader app. I knocked off 1 star due to annoying and unwelcome book recommendations with very few configurable options. For example, every time I open the app, it pitches all kinds of queer and multiple gender nonsense that is downright insulting. When I mark every one of them as 'not interested', they disappear from the list, but the next day they are back in my face, every single one of this garbage literature.
