Funny thing is, I'm reading "A Cheistmas Carol", so much for OCR... Have no idea why it's defaulted to original scan... Have to click "Flowing text" to switch from the scans... Know there are more recent (copyrighted) copies of this but I can't buy (non-US)...

What I can say is, compared to other vendors, Google's offering is so automated and relatively lacking in quality.

I understand that Google's strength is its automated process, for once you'll probably find lots more books in public domain than the others. And if she has her way go, she'll have all the copyrighted but out-of-print books that others won't have, too.

P.S. Kindle is a better option right now.
