Because Googlebook is built on the Android tech stack, it's a total game-changer for Android users. Your phone and laptop work together natively at the system level: ・When you set up and sign in, what you need from your phone is already there – from passwords, contacts, messages and more. ・Continue On lets you pick up tasks from your phone instantly from the Googlebook’s taskbar. ・A dedicated Files app lets you access photos and files on your phone directly from the laptop.
