2018. Google reopened Play Books Publisher Program
The Google Publisher Program, which allowed independent authors to sell ebooks on the Google Play bookstore, was temporarily suspended in 2015 due to piracy concerns. Consequently, authors and publishers had to rely on aggregators to distribute their digital content on the platform. However, Google has now relaunched the Play Books publisher program, incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into the ebook submission process. When a title is submitted, it undergoes a comparison against existing books in the Play Bookstore, and if significant similarities are found, the submission is automatically rejected. Digital books also have the option to include an ISBN number, allowing for retrieval of ebook metadata and enabling sales tracking through Nielson. In cases where an ISBN is not available, Google will assign a GGKEY, which can be utilized for Google Books and Google Play.

Is this as good or better than Kindle. Or is Kindle better?
It has a higher royalty % for low or high cost ebooks, but it doesn't get the traffic that Amazon does. Amazon KDP also allows you to go exclusive and let Kindle Unlimited subscribers to read your book for free. On average, you get a little less than half a cent per page read which sounds low, but the page reads add up quickly. It's especially lucrative with shorts, nonfiction/how-to books, and erotica genres.
