While this video hinted at what might be possible 3 years ago, Google eBooks delivers a new vision for accessing the world of words. It's incredibly exciting to imagine spreading these words into the farthest corners of the world. Truly awe inspiring, when you think of it....

Indeed! Google is amazing for bringing some of the most hard to find books on a wide range of subjects. I am from Trinidad and none of the books that I now enjoy exist in the libraries here. Thank you Google!

Google Book Search helped my immensely with my thesis (political science). I saved a lot of time I would have otherwise spent searching for sources, and at most times I wouldn't have found them in the libraries, even in the German National Library.

The PhD student has a rather large tome propping up the monitor on her desk! Is this a deliberate editorial comment on the value/purpose of books after they're digitized? Hmm.

Google books let me find concepts from very reliable sources, and I try to find out this books. It is good, now I can read, and find out many very good information that is difficult to find in my library. Now I spend less time finding specials topics because it also search into the chapters ¡it is amazing!

It's not that complicated, it allows you to search the full text of the book but if the book is still in copyright then you only get a limited view. If it's out of copyright you can probably download the whole book, and of course the video mentions the right hand navigation that lets you buy the book or check it out from a library and because of that it can actually help sell more books without infringing on the copyright itself.

Google Book Search stands on a delicate compromise between, on the one hand, the interests of society in progress by making information and research more easily accessible, and on the other,preserving the incentive system inherent in the copyright system that allows authors to make a living by producing research and advancing social progress. One way to tweak the balance might be to shorten the length of time in which copyright affords protection.
