Googlebook owners finally get an explanation for the missing Find Hub app

TL;DR Google has explained why it removed Find Hub support from first-generation Googlebooks, citing differences between how phones and laptops handle device tracking. The company says the Android app isn’t optimized for tracking laptops, especially when they’re closed and asleep. Googlebook owners can still use the Find Hub website to locate other devices, but Google hasn’t clarified whether their laptops can be tracked or if a replacement is coming.
