Yiddish Books Online
The way to go!
"The National Yiddish Book Center is proud to offer online access to the full texts of nearly 11,000 out-of-print Yiddish titles. You can browse, read, download or print any or all of these books, free of charge. These titles were scanned under the auspices of our Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library, and have been made available online through the Internet Archive.
Please use the box below to search our collection by author, title, subject or keyword. Books may be read as animated "Flip Books," or downloaded and printed as PDFs.
Original, used copies and new, print-on-demand hardcover reprints of most titles in our collection are available at nominal cost. To check availability, please contact us by email at orders@bikher.org, or by phone at 413.256.4900 x196."

Bezos Interview on Kindle and other Amazon Ventures - MobileRead Forums
"Bezos: We humans evolve with our tools—they change us. But our network-connected tools have not kept pace with everything we need. The tools we've been building the past couple of decades make information snacking more convenient—I like my BlackBerry; it's good for e-mail and chunks of text. But you don't want to read a 300-page novel from a laptop.It's not comfortable.The Kindle was built for long-form reading.
SM: So as the Internet shortens our attention span, you think the Kindle will lengthen it?
Bezos: Yes, I think people will read more, not less."
On the Google Book Search agreement (Lessig Blog)
Lessig dixit:
"IMHO, this is a good deal that could be the basis for something really fantastic. The Authors Guild and the American Association of Publishers have settled for terms that will assure greater access to these materials than would have been the case had Google prevailed. Under the agreement, 20% of any work not opting out will be available freely; full access can be purchased for a fee. That secures more access for this class of out-of-print but presumptively-under-copyright works than Google was initially proposing. And as this constitutes up to 75% of the books in the libraries to be scanned, that is hugely important and good."
