From helping you write emails to managing smart home devices, Google’s Gemini is steadily integrating into more aspects of your life. Soon, it could change how you read books on your phone.
Android Authority has discovered an upcoming Gemini integration while digging through the latest beta release of the Google Play Books & Audiobooks app (version 2025.11.29.2). While the integration is not live yet, the publication has managed to enable it manually, giving us an early look at how it might work upon release.
As shown in the attached screenshots, the app could introduce a new “Ask Gemini” button in the menu that appears whenever the user selects text. Although it’s not functional yet, this button will likely let users ask Gemini questions about the selected text, generate summaries, or explain complex topics.
Gemini in Google Play Books could be a game-changer
This feature could be incredibly beneficial for readers, allowing them to get contextual information, explanations of complex passages, summaries of long sections, or even definitions of unfamiliar terms. By adding a Gemini button right into the app, Google will also eliminate the need for users to copy and paste text into the Gemini app or a browser window, making the process much more seamless.
However, it’s not immediately clear if this button will redirect users to the Gemini app or open the assistant in an overlay, allowing users to get answers without leaving the app. There’s also no information on whether a similar integration will be available for audiobooks.
Google has yet to share any official information about this Gemini integration. Since it was discovered in an APK teardown, it likely won’t reach users anytime soon, if at all. Google could make additional changes by the time the integration goes live, so it may not resemble what’s shown in the screenshots above.
