Unlike Amazon, Google's public domain titles are managed so the only duplicates that you are likely to find are there for a reason. Translations of an original work, for example, are often duplicated to give the researcher the opportunity to compare.

I use Google Book Search all the time but burn my eyes out reading from the computer screen. Being able to read Google's library on an eBook reader is a big plus for me.

Thousands of public domain books....I'm good with my Kindle. Sony books do look more expensive
For The Lovely Bones by Alice sebold
Kindle 9.99
Sony 15.29

The list price for the paperback version of Lovely Bones is only $13.99, (which Amazon is selling for $11.19.) The Sony version is not more only expensive, but a rip-off.
