Read the story

Google has made hundreds of textbooks available without charge inside Gemini Notebook, the study tool formerly called NotebookLM. Its collection includes material from providers such as OpenStax and Open Textbook Library.

Once a book is added as a source, users can ask questions about its contents or generate revision material, including quizzes and flashcards. Google says responses include citations that link back to the textbook; readers can use those links to check the source.

Android Authority reports that the feature is rolling out to users in the United States and India. The publication says Google has not announced when it might expand to other regions.
