Android users can now grab e-books from Google's Android Market, and some clues show that movies and music may be on the horizon.

Tapping intoGoogle's own eBookstore, whichlaunched in December, the Android Market is offering a wide range of titles to browse, buy, and download. People can hunt for books among different categories, such as biographies, mysteries, and science fiction, or search for specific titles. Picking a book offers users a choice of viewing it directly on the Web or downloading it to an Android device where it can be read through the freeGoogle Books app.

But asSlashGear and other sources point out, Google could be eyeing music and movies as the next frontiers. Typing the URLshttp://market.android.com/movies/ andhttp://market.android.com/music/ doesn't result in a "Page not found" error as it normally would but instead directs the user back to the Android Market home page, indicating that those domain names may soon come into play.

Rumors ofGoogle kicking off a music store have been floating about for more than a year. But recent reports say the company is now close to launching its ownonline music service.

In an effort to beef up Android Market, Google recentlyrevamped its app store to offer Web-based downloads and provide more details on each app. Though it currently offers the most popular online spot for getting Android software, Google will face some competition whenAmazon rolls out its own Android app store.
