    Can you read ebooks on Google Glass ?

    Is it possible to read books on Google Glass ? I know I can listen to audiobooks, but I'd love to be able to read some too, because I prefer it this way.

    I wonder if there's already an app for that. Otherwise I'm thinking to start developing one myself, though I've never tried to develop apps for Google Glass.

    I also don't know how the app should work, because the display is pretty small and limited, so it might be pretty difficult.

    No, you can't at the moment and I think it would be pretty hard and bad for your eyes to read like that. You better get a Kindle if you want to read books

    I wanna give it a try too, though I don't think it can replace my Kindle.

    Ebooks on Google Glass would be a good idea, but it would probably not have a good viewing format. The lenses are not very big so I'm thinking you'll probably only be able to read a paragraph or so. It would take a while to finish the book.

    E-Book on Google Glass! That seems like an attractive idea The only problem for me is that it wouldn't so good for your eyes. I will cause lots of strain on your eyes!
