Google has expanded Gemini Notebook with access to hundreds of textbooks from providers in the United States and India, according to a company announcement published October 29, 2026. The newly available sources include OpenStax, Open Textbook Library and S Chand Publishing.

Google says students can add the textbooks to Gemini Notebook at no charge. After a textbook is added, the company says answers generated in the notebook are grounded directly in that book and include inline citations and direct links to the original source.

The update also lets users turn textbook content into tailored study guides, practice quizzes and flashcards, Google says. To browse the catalog, users can select “Add sources” in a notebook and then choose “Textbooks.”

The feature expands on Gemini Notebook’s existing support for eligible ebooks purchased through Google Play Books. Google described the textbook addition as part of its Expert Intelligence initiative, which it introduced as a cross-Google effort to help people work with trusted sources through Google AI products.
