One possible disadvantage Google may have lies in its current battles with publishers and authors on the process of scanning out-of-print books that are currently under copyright. The settlement process on several law suits worldwide continue to be a thorn in its side. "Google's Story offering today is very competitive in terms of price, but less so in terms of content. If they could include the out-of-print books that they have been digitizing for years it would create a greater competitive differentiator in the market. But due to the lack of a clear and final settlement with the book industry, this is not yet possible," notes Renard.
