Legal action mustbe taken against Google for "volunteering" to digitalize these books, which are now public property for all (especially those less fortunate to be able to afford to buy books. Google has INTENTIONALLY corrupted the files so the books they have so voraciously digitalized can only be read on their proprietary software. Google is nothing more than a common criminal syndicate and the company should be stripped of its assets and top management belong in Fort Leavenworth, not golfing at Allenwood! The FBI isn't busy now, it finished off LaCosa Nostra - time for Google guys!
