After 6 Months of Google Print
What are YOUR experiences with Google's eBooks?
I am writing an article concerning various points of view from a
hopefully wide range of people with various experiences with the
new Google Print and would like YOUR input.
We are coming up on June 14, 2005, the end of the first 6 months
of the project that received millions of dollars of publicity on
December 14th, 2004, when Google revealed that it had "invented"
the idea of the electronic library.
Here are several aspects of Google Print people have commented a
number of times on, and YOUR comments would be appreciated, both
on these topics and any additional topics or points of view your
own experiences have brought to light.
1. Is Google Print in full swing yet?
2. How easy is it to find what you want?
3. How easy is it to save what you find?
4. Has anyone figured out how to download the entire text file?
5. Has anyone figured out how to download the entire .jpg file?
[These last two only in public domain cases.]
6. How many total books have been completed?
7. How many books were done in the best week?
8. How many books were done in the best month?
9. How does the information appear to you when you find it?
10. Can you change the appearance to suit your own taste?
If you have comments on any of these questions, or could add new
questions for consideration, please email me at hart AT pobox.com
or at hart AT pglaf.org
Thanks!!!
