If Google's existing offerings are any guide, probably not. I'm sure they will use the same scans and poorly proofread OCR'ed versions of all their PD and scanned books.
This is mostly old news, though it remains to be seen if the number of titles has any real meaning -- especially since the book scanning settlement may get shot down. I can't imagine the mess that would result if they start selling books prior to all of that getting finalized.
The only benefit here is that Google's offering will be browser-based with some kind of cached offline option, thus more cross-platform than most other offerings.
