My view as an author of books is that the complete Google books should be forbidden. How could it be that copyrights are ignored? Copies are only allowed in compliance with the author. why should it be different for Google?

[...] So let’s look at this from another side today, the side of the librarian and of the e-book consumer. Economist article Tome Raiders, Google is claiming that “rather than suppressing competition in the emerging market for electronic books, the agreement would increase it by offering a web-based alternative to expensive proprietary systems such as Amazon’s Kindle.” In essence, Google is aiming to put Amazon or Microsoft out of business, but inadvertently also aiming to build the world’s biggest online library. This second aim could be the more detrimental outcome of this settlement. After all, isn’t the whole point of a library is that it’s free to the public. Libraries are pretty much one of the first open source institutions our culture has had. Part of the reason why this is getting no play in terms of news action is that the Open Content Alliance is much smaller than the other big boxes and self proclaimed Authors Guild. And actually, the OCA is not all too thrilled with the Authors Guild these days. [...]

How is this a monopoly? Everywhere I’ve read says that this is a non-exclusive deal, yet you say it is exclusive. I see nothing that prevents another company from coming in an competing. And one of the biggest leaders in the fight against Google is Amazon, who currently have one of the largest eBook markets out there. Google is wanting to use an open format, whereas Amazon locks you into using their eBook reader and their proprietary format (and then deleting books you purchased off of your device without your consent).
