Google Opens Up 1M Books For Free

We now have 1M books for free download care of Google. They are in the EPUB format, sort of what the mp3 format is for music. An excerpt from the article:

Google just announced that it will now allow users to download over 1 million public domain books in the EPUB format. Google had already made this archive available to some of its partners, including Sony and Barnes and Noble, but until today users weren't able to download these free EPUB texts from Google directly. Google will continue to make PDF versions of these books available for download as well, but users with eReader's will find the new EPUB files far more useful.
