Google Books going up against tough competition

Microsoft, Yahoo! and Amazon decided that ganging up with each other against Google is the way to go, forming the Open Book Alliance. Also known as OBA for short, this conglomerate will go up against Google’s recent $125 million settlement deal with book publishers and authors. It would be interesting to see how the situation plays out in the end, but hopefully everyone will have a slice of the pie in the end.
