New Google Print. Google = Library?

Google has just released a new product to the world. It is still beta but it's called Google print. As they say:

"Google's mission is to organize the world's information, but much of that information isn't yet on-line. Google Print aims to get it there by putting book content where you can find it most easily – right in your Google search results."

They are trying to index and maintain a copy of many of the books you can find a normal library. Amazing indeed! What do you think about this new Google's trend?

i checked it and its nice, if the book is copyrighted you can only acces the page where the info is, and two more/less, but if the book is free of copyright, or is old and the license is old, you can access it entirely! future seems good with this, although still reading from the screen is a bit hard, im waiting for the comercialization of the e-paper ;)
