(sigh)
I wish I could be happier about this announcement, but the fact is, that they are using the unproofed and uncorrected Google OCR material does not make me happy. Sony especially should be concerned enough about their rep to want to offer only the best material... and giving the public texts that look like they were typed by flying monkeys on acid is no way to do that.
If their source material was any better, I'd consider collecting and reading from their library, too. But when you risk running into words, sentences and entire sections that are unreadable, and can potentially alter the meaning of entire portions of a book, I don't consider it worth the trouble.
Somebody call me when they've gone and corrected that material. Until then: Pass.
