"Google Books is absolutely not the "Grandfather" of free ebooks. That honor would go to Project Gutenberg. PG is not only older than Google and older than the Web, but it is older than Sergey Brin and Larry Page."
I totally agree and apologize. That was cribbed from an old blog post from my website before I started exploring ebooks.
As a librarian, I'm also mindful of copyright. What may be "free" in one country, isn't free in another.
Thanks for the additional sources.
