What Harry and Jellby said.

There are loads of books here that otherwise only exist as Google scans. Have you ever tried reading one of the automatic epub conversions the Internet Archive offers of those?

Some people even scan books themselves. I know that there is material in pynch's Virginia Woolf and James Joyce editions that is unavailable in digital form anywhere else.
