Google's Gemini Notebook now lets users add selected ebooks they bought through Google Play Books as notebook sources, according to Google's announcement cited by ZDNET.

The feature supports 100,000 titles from named publishers, though only certain books, authors and publishers are eligible. Users can ask questions grounded in a supported book and generate formats including reports, quizzes and audio overviews. A shared notebook does not convey access to a buyer's book; another user is prompted to purchase their own copy.
