    Google Books is the most frustrating product I use on a regular basis. It’s *almost* incredible (search all books instantly!). But instead it feels like what you’d get if JSTOR ran Wikipedia.

        Missing pages and inability to read more of the book. I understand that copyright agreements are an impediment but the limitations ruin the product. (I’d be willing to pay to read more if necessary.)

        And I suspect this is the reason: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/04/the-tragedy-of-google-books/523320/ … It's depressing

        Would love to hear what you’d want to be different. We’re building a new way to publish books on webpages at @holloway

        Could do with a rental of subscription system too. So annoying to be reading and find a page missing.
