Google Print goes online today with uncopyrighted books, chiefly 19th Century works of American literature and history.
Readers can also read high resolution copies of books published before 1920 at The Open Library, a competing venture sponsored by Yahoo and Microsoft. The Open Library allows users a print on demand option, which prints and binds the scanned pages in book form. A copy of the archive's edition of Henry James' An International Episode, for example, costs as little as $8.
