Cavill said that after trying Googlebook before its release and spending time with the company’s team, he believes the platform could represent the beginning of something special as technology progresses quickly. The gaming-focused passion project is scheduled to start in November, with progress updates set to appear through the @Android Instagram account and a dedicated Henry Cavill page on Googlebook’s website. The campaign represents an early effort by Google to raise mainstream awareness of Googlebook, with the article suggesting broader online and television advertising could be necessary for the new laptop platform to gain traction.
