And then I think "One million books!" Gimme, gimme.

Yes, I would like better quality, who wouldn't - but the opportunity to find lots and lots of books that aren't available elsewhere? Hey - I'm over 50, my life's too short now to quibble.

Gotta get reading!
There is something to that.

The bizarre thing to me is that they try to prevent commercial use, when in fact commercial use is the most straightforward way of making their poorly scanned image sets into books. (i.e.: A publisher taking it, undertaking better OCR, and paying for proofing, retypesetting, et al. Whether to ultimately reissue as a regular paper book, or as an eBook.)
