This doesn't sound that different from Google Books in the U.S., which suck and nobody every sells or buys. If you liked scanned public-domain works, it is great, but I don't see any game-changers here. A positive is that digital books are getting some play, but I doubt it is Google that becomes a leader in any way.
Nice to see that Google is finally being recognized as the world's most blatant and visible digital pirate, though.
