Are books available on Google Books completely free to access and read? Or is there a certain fee associated with certain books or features on the platform? Is there a way to determine if a book is free before clicking on it? And if there are fees, what are the different options for payment and are they convenient for users?

I'm curious about how Google Books handles payments for the authors and publishers whose works they digitize and distribute. Can you explain the payment process in detail? Specifically, I'd like to know how Google determines the amount to pay, whether it's based on sales, page views, or some other metric. Additionally, I'm interested in understanding how frequently payments are made and if there are any fees or deductions taken from the payments before they reach the authors and publishers. Can you provide a clear overview of the payment system used by Google Books?

So, I've been wondering, how much does Google Books actually pay authors for their work? I understand they offer a platform for books to be discovered and distributed, but what's the financial compensation like for the creators? Is it a flat fee, a percentage of sales, or something else entirely? It's important for authors to know how much they can potentially earn when their books are hosted on Google Books, right?
