Let's hope that Google will give Senior Citizens discounted access to the books from their Childhood. There are old books I'd love to read to my grandkids. There are others, from my youth, that I'd like to find again.

If every book gets scanned it will be much easier for Google to change the contents.

Google used it's position, as a primary gateway to information, in a partisan and unethical manner. It's full support of 0bama's candidacy is but one example.

Google will delete and or rewrite any information once they control it.

Google has become truly scary.

You can always just use Free Book Search.

Works like a charm. Links to all digital libraries, ten different search engines to find books.

A little-known secret is that the "Audiobooks" search tab also finds MP3s.

While I appreciate the sentiment of reading an old book to the grandkids, there's something about having the actual book when reading to the kids, instead of a printout.

OTOH, I like the idea that older books will still be around. Particularly those which might only have a single copy in the entire Brooklyn Public Library.
