watch for it autoinstalling into system without warning just after a restart
it did this to me and my phone didnt like it as i didnt have enough system space due to a custom mtd
after it installed i rebooted and i got stuck in a bootloop. had to mount system via recovery and manually remove the fker

bit cheaky of google that, bypassing amazon and such and just saying "here have this one "
 
Got it too...
The app is about 4MB large (2MB apk + 2MB Dalvik), and it nests itself as /system/app/BooksPhone.apk.

I hate such spam installations. Removed!
 
Err... After rebooting the phone, the app is back on system partition...
Bloody Spammers...

I'm getting a notification that Google Books is trying to update, but because the file is so big it sez it requires a WiFi connection. I don't have a WiFi connection. Using connection from my phone service. I tried re-booting to perhaps stop it, but this does not. It's still there in my notifications and I can't get rid of it. I don't use Google Books either!

Anyway..does anyone know what's going on here?

Many thanks for any and all help.

ps..as a newbie into the cell phone stuff, don't know if I can do what you guys have here, on my own phone.
