At the time I wasn't aware that other sources were/are available. I have, sadly, discovered that Google's book thing is badly done, as are most of their other projects. Google does not scan books, it scans ancient, low quality microfilms of books. Google's book thing is just as bad as its Map thing--that is, once you start using it, you find that it is riddled with errors and sloppy standards. On Google Maps roads are incorrectly numbered, or missing, and in Google Books pages may be missing, blurred or too dim to read. They don't look at what they do. They just crank it out and they don't care about anything but their bragging rights.

I too supported google when I first heard what they are trying to do. Unfortunately it sounds like if they get their way it will put others at a disadvantage. Doesn't make sense!

Interesting how they are doing this, and seemingly getting more and more information every day. Although I like the proliferation of information, it certainly shouldn't be at the authors expense.

MONEY is their first priority and everything else comes second. Whatever policy they make OR whatever decision they take for (their so called)human friendly policy is first need to benefit "them on moneytory grounds" (passively, if not actively) then they can think of something else. Also, digitalizing the orphans seems a "real good move towards helping the needy" but they are NOT only one who is doing so. google is a “businessman”! and they have their priorities.
