MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Google is teaming up with Barnes & Noble to provide users with same-day shipping for books, toys and magazines, in order to compete with market leader Amazon.
The service will be part of the search giant's Google Shopping Express and will be launched in three markets: Manhattan, West Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Products will be shipped out of Barnes & Noble stores and will involve Google employees working at the stores in those markets.
