Google Play Books received a couple of major updates last night: all books purchased on the app with now support pinch-to-zoom, doubl-tap-to-zoom, and the new 'Read Aloud' feature.

'Read Aloud' does just what it seems like it would do: read your favorite novel, biography, or current read outloud to you in a Siri-esque voice.

For the Google Play Books update, click here.

On Google Play you can choose from over 675,000 apps and games, browse the world's largest eBookstore, discover millions of songs, watch the latest and greatest movies and TV shows, and even flip through your favorite magazines.

Before you decide, sample a song or book for free, view ratings, user reviews, screenshots, or watch a movie trailer. With Google Play, you'll never run out of choices.
