Google Now Selling Books

Google Print is now called Google Book Search. Google has plans to create the world's largest collection of digital books. Now they have invited publishers from the U.S. and U.K. to actually sell online access to copyrighted material through Google Book Search. Currently users have only been able to view small bits of the copyrighted information, not a full book, and the ability to gain access to the full text will come as a welcome feature to most online users. I don't know the response from most publishers, but it will be interesting to see the outcome of this new offering.
