If there was some award for cool April Fools jokes, I'd nominate you. I at least owe you a beer.

I just wasted five minutes of my life over an April Fool's joke on what is supposed to be an informational site? Geesh.

That's what I'm hoping.

Actually, I suspect something like this will end up happening eventually. Google has scanned gazillions of books. Last fall they settled with the US publishers and authors by proposing a scheme whereby libraries will be able to pay to access that content. If they team up with a large bookseller and get that additional leverage on the publishers and market, they may be able to work out a deal to sell access to that content to everyone. Ebook readers are in the news these days, so I think people are starting to understand that more is needed than just a "read online" solution.

We will have to keep the UK in mind for our next April 1 jokes.
