There had been speculation that some form of pre-orders were coming to the Google Play Store, and it turns out that is true. Google Play customers can now pre-order books, and, as a nice change, this feature is available on Android right now, as well as the Play Store website. Google has had a tendency recently to premier new Play Store features on the website before it comes to Android.
Pre-ordering a book works just like purchasing a book with the notable exception that you don't actually receive the book right away, and only get it when it is actually released. For the event, Google has added a "New and Coming Soon" section to the Play Store, and you'll find the first batch of pre-order capable book listings there, including Tom Clancy's new book Threat Vector, and a surprising number of romance novels from the looks of the covers.
