I use such texts to access early documentations of languages and for the rare historical information they may contain. <br /><br />From my point of view, the best format has been the PDF of a fully digitized (scanned) book. Just lately, though, I have noticed that more and more books are only available in the Adobe ePub format. These are not easy to read, and sometimes appear to have been OCR&#39;d, with occasionally miserable results! Please could we have the old PDFs back? <br /><br />I do love everyone at Google books and all of the librarians at participating institutions! Thank you so much, all of you.Menan Du Plessishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494656946774297155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945317.post-47320686898243228112012-06-02T05:33:28.879-07:002012-06-02T05:33:28.879-07:00I wholeheartedly agree with RS_SF.

It is not only about the reading but also about the sharing or quoteing and use of the information provided.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945317.post-24721551327044248572012-04-13T13:42:25.508-07:002012-04-13T13:42:25.508-07:00Google Books should push Adobe to upgrade Adobe Di...Google Books should push Adobe to upgrade Adobe Digital Edition reader to enable text highlighting and annotations in the margins.

I am an avid supporter of Village Books in Bellingham, WA, and of Google&#39;s motto, &quot;Do no evil&quot;, and loved the prospect of saving paper while still helping our lovely local bookstore. Google has really changed for the worse and it saddens me. I might as well buy an iPad and use bing at this rate.Jesse Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291529764517499931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945317.post-45096989482836210342012-04-06T12:07:56.287-07:002012-04-06T12:07:56.287-07:00As an avid independent bookstore customer and some...As an avid independent bookstore customer and someone who buys Google ebooks through indie stores, I was upset learn about this.

It met the needs of all my customers who tried digital books for the first time and all my customers who wanted to support the little guy with every book purchase. Many of my customers got Google accounts so they could buy eBooks through our website. <br />I feel betrayed, like Google strung us and the ABA along, using us as guinea pigs as they developed their eBook market presence.TSquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895092155263209527noreply@blogger.com
