It has been mentioned before, that google will work together with Sony to deliver 'free' ebooks.

Would this mean the end of Mobileread.com as far as gutenberg books are concerned?

I mean, if they all will get available through Sony & Google, and now even Barnes & Noble, unless they deliver crappy work, I would think I would no longer be converting ebooks (since they will be reconverted by Sony anyways).

Besides it would only be natural for people to get their books from the Sony store; not many people know mobileread.com, and not many people would give a crap about spending upto $1 per book that has nice layout, versus plain text version books you sometimes find over here (with non original pictures).

Ok,I know there are good books and good formatted books out here too, but if they become available on the sony store, what's the use of still continuing to format books and upload them here,I'd say?

It's both good news to me, but also a bit sad news.
I know some books found here Sony won't be able to format them better! But if they end up looking the same...
