Google better improve the quality of their digital books. From what I've seen so far, the majority of what they offer is just digitized photocopies of the original books. Project Gutenberg does it much better.

[citation][nom]JohnnyLucky[/nom]Starting to sound interesting. I'm just having a bit of difficulty making the change from paperback to digital.[/citation]

I bought a nook a month ago, and I'm already used to it. I tried reading a real book last night, and it felt awkward. Don't know if that's good or bad :).

GOOGLE is smart by not wanting to limit its market to one platform...

UNLIKE Apple and many other companies who try so hard to keep all of their content proprietary
