Hi

Here is a link to an interesting story from the BBC on plans for a new digital library
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4512831.stm
I suppose it won't have your average best-seller, but if this is done propperly it could be very useful. My guess is that it would involve downloading page images and then shoving them through an OCR program.
