This blog entry struck a chord with me - free books are all very well, but the quality control can be absolutely awful. Fine, if you are stuck on a plane for several hours, but certainly destructive of reading pleasure when the typos mean that you have to keep guessing what the author was saying.
The fact that Google Books can produce such rubbish is particularly depressing - isn't their motto something like, "Never do harm"? I suppose that harming a text doesn't really count in their book. [Sorry about the pun!]
