According to this short item, "Students can now access hundreds of textbooks from providers in the U.S. and India including OpenStax, Open Textbook Library, and S Chand Publishing, right in Gemini Notebook at no charge." I tested it (illustrated) and it does indeed work (you can also import commercial books into your Notebook at a charge). There are more providers than just those listed; I saw eCampus Ontario in the results, for example. What I wonder is whether any money is passing from Google to the providers of these open textbooks.
