Welp, looks like I found the answer in their posted policy on copyright --- I surely do wish I could go back in a time machine and see what this page said a couple of weeks ago
Quote:
Public Domain - In general, these are texts that are
1) US federal government documents
2) published in the US prior to 1926
or 3) published outside of the US before 1896.
Volumes may be determined to be in the public domain for other reasons, however. See the link to the HathiTrust Rights Database page above for more information.

So apparently *BOOKS* fall under this same restriction.
Now my heart is even more broken, because this is obviously not going to be a temporary thing.
Sob!
