Google Book Search has just announced that it’s made 1.5 million public-domain books easily readable on mobile devices, such as the iPhone. The book were already scanned and available at Google Books but could be hard to view on tiny screens. As always, access is free.

The main page for the mobile books is here.

The announcement is on Inside Google Book Search here.

If there’s a public-domain book that you’d like to read online and/or have as a PDF, and a physical copy is in the Boston Public Library, just request a scan via OpenLibrary.org and it’ll happen within days for free. We live in amazing times, people.
