I, personally, have had much better luck with Google Books. If it's PD, again, why reinvent the wheel? And if it's in copyright, then I can only get it through my library anyway.
But there are books available that are not public domain but are out of print--like a Ben Casey TV tie-in, YAs by Betty Cavanna, nurse romances, a handful of Phyllis A. Whitney and Dorothy Eden titles. It's not going to be of much use to folks who want current books, I guess, but I'm looking forward to finding lots of oddball books there.
