The pittance is greater than zero, but on a per-book basis, certainly not by much!
And yes, the latter is certainly the sane choice. Though I think you must be mistaken in assuming no compensation is involved.

No, I meant that without Google in the picture, a book today that is out-of-print is not making any money for the author. So, if Google does make that book available and pay a pittance to the authors, at least that pittance is more than they would have been getting otherwise.
