But they're not selling these books as far as I can see, are they? I thought this was about making snippets of the complete text available for search, with appropriate links to buy where there was a seller.
In many cases, where Google has the rights to sell the eBook, that seller may be Google, but I can't see where Google are accused of
selling books where they don't have the rights, just of making them available for search.
