This is good for consumers, more choices:

Microsoft, Yahoo! and Amazon have joined forces to stall Google’s efforts to create what could be the world’s largest digital library. The technology heavyweights have all signed up to the Open Book Alliance, which will oppose Google’s crusade to make digital copies of as many printed books as possible. A growing number of critics already have filed objections to Google’s book settlement, but none have the clout that the Open Book Alliance has with the world’s best-known technology companies on board. – from DailyMail
