Oh my. I was just going on about this last week. They have over 7 million books scanned. Not sure if they are all converted to text format, though.

EDIT: There seems to be some confusion about this. Go to books.google.com, and look for books in the Public Domain. You can usually download them in PDF or ePub format right now. I expect they are just goign to extend this to purchased books. And you have a "My Library", where you can access "your" books. I have a few by Voltaire, and I can read them online or download the files and read them on a device.

I don't see the problem with this, and I am eager to be able to buy some of the books that Google has that are not available in eBook format from anyone yet.
