Google offers free books

"Google Inc on Wednesday plans to begin letting consumers download and print free of charge classic novels and many other, more obscure books that are in the public domain," reports AP.

"Using Google's Book Search service, Web surfers hunting titles like Dante's Inferno and Aesop's Fables will be able to download PDF files of the books for later reading, to run keyword searches or to print them on paper. Up to now, the service only allowed people to read the out-of-copyright books online."
