Today, I have bought a Nexus 5, and I want to download Google Play Books from Google Play, but I get the prompt message as seen in the above image.

Why am seeing this message and how can I install the app on my phone?

  • Isn't there already a Google Play Books app on your Nexus 5? The one it comes with may not be compatible with the one on Google Play.

    It might not be available in your country.

    @roxan Google Play isn't available at all in China, so the error message is a little confusing in that case.

    If you hit the install button and mouse over your device on the list, it'll give you a buy more detailed reason why it is incompatible.

    Use APK Downloader to download the .apk file, which you can then transfer to and install on your N5 like any other app.

Google Play Books comes pre-installed on Nexus 5, at least here in the Netherlends. If you do not have it nor can install it via Play Store I would guess that it is a country/operator restriction.
