Well, I sampled the Google library by downloading a couple of books (Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle and Mommsen's History of Rome) via the Sony e-library software. I imported them into calibre, converted them to .mobi, and transferred them to my Kindle.
The results were really disappointing. The Darwin was marginal in its OCR but the Mommsen was completely unusable because of the multitude of OCR errors. I wound up deleting the books both from the Kindle and even from my calibre library. Maybe when Kovid gets an e-book editor implemented into calibre, we'll be able to fix up such OCR errors if their numbers aren't too overwhelming.
