Allows epub-format books to be uploaded, at which point they become available on all devices you have GPB installed on. I use this for all my public-domain (Gutenberg, Azora-bunko, etc) ebook reading.

Other than being an e-book store, it also allows PDF and EPUB files to be uploaded and they become available on all devices with Google Play Books. The reader is pretty great as well.
