HP One-Ups Google on Books
I hadn’t seen this earlier in the week, but it is pretty significant that HP is working with the University of Michigan to scan out-of-print books from the college libraries and make them available. And the interesting thing is that apparently HP paid close attention to Google’s efforts on the Google Books front and is systematically finding a better way to do the same thing, as the former is managing to find solid revenue opportunities, meld the worlds of print and digital publication, and even manage to do this in such a way that it can’t get sued.
