Google really has an incredibly vast array of products. I've dabbled with several of them at home, but this was the first time I have looked at Google Books. Since I have a passion for cookbooks, I was quite pleased to see a number of choices to browse through. I could very easily waste hours and hours away previewing a variety of cookbooks...again taking time away from walking and fresh air.
So to sum up my impression of Google books:
Postive-a variety of topics, many books to preview, and some are even full text.
Negative-a real time-consumer. There is so much information, it is easy to lose track of time. Also, what impact will this have on libraries? I guess we will have to wait and see.
Recommendation: I would recommend it. It won't be the first place I go for books, not even the second, but it's worth being aware of.
