I see the difference by indexing and stealing. Do you? If its in the library for free anyway, whats the big deal?
From the article on yahoo (which is their competitor) they make it sound that this is not good for the publishers and that they will not pay them. Thats cheap propaganda. Now do some research, instead of believing all thats written on the web:

Google themself write; "
..direct potential buyers to your website, provide ongoing reports about user interest in your books, and your books will also earn revenue from contextual advertising"
