In a research paper, Vivienne Waller from Swinburne has examined the relationship between Google and public libraries. It's very well researched and written, and will provide anyone with plenty to think about.

Sony is trying to fight this advantage by being more open and thereby attracting other large players into its sphere of influence. It’s biggest ally in this fight is Google, whose M.O. is to attack closed industries with open technologies. Today, Google is making available more than one million public domain books in the open ePub format, which also happens to be the linchpin of Sony’s open strategy.
