Following the camera and text editing apps, we’re now getting a good look at the Googlebook’s elaborate media editing tool.

Here’s an early preview of the Googlebook’s extensive media editing tool

The Googlebook Viewer app has been released on the Play Store, serving as a media editing tool for Googlebooks. Reviewing its features, the app supports the viewing and editing of images, videos, audio files, and PDFs. Despite Googlebooks technically running on smartphones, the app performs optimally on larger devices like foldables and tablets.

Pre-orders for the initial batch of Googlebooks began last month and shipping commenced this past Sunday. The Googlebook app has previously found its way onto the Play Store from desktop platforms. The latest arrival is the Viewer app, a full-fledged media editor. We've spotted this app for Googlebooks, which allows users to view or edit pictures, videos, audio files, and PDFs "all in one place."

Although it officially supports Googlebooks, we tested the app on an Android tablet and found it to function precisely as advertised.
