Well, there are often two download available from Google books, pdf and ePub. ePub is OCR (not always pretty, though), so you can resize text, copy, etc. Right now, I can't get the eDGe to display the Google pdfs with images. I just get the text. The ePub has both, but I dislike the OCR look. Some other pdfs work great, but not those from Google books. Sigh.
