Coolerbooks.com gets 1M books from Google scans; Associated Press, 9/2/09

Rachel Metz via Associated Press; Coolerbooks.com gets 1M books from Google scans:

"Interead, a British company that sells the COOL-ER e-book reader, is adding more than 1 million free public-domain books to its online bookstore. The texts are available from Google Inc. through its book-scanning project.

However, the online store won't be able to show half of the books outside the U.S. because of copyright restrictions, Interead said."
