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."
