The downside would be that since they're image file pdfs, they wouldn't be searchable, and I suspect highlighting wouldn't work either (could be wrong about that tho), and I'm not even sure about annotation; you could probably annotate a "page" but you might not be able to pick *where* on the page.

Not to say that the Google books wouldn't still be valuable. If all you want to do is *read* the darn things theyd' work fine.

Just thinking aloud (a-type?) because some of the older journal articles are also image file pdfs, and they would have the same problems.
