Google Selling Online Books

Danny Sullivan at SearchEngineWatch.com has a write-up of this recently announced extension of Google's Book Search service. A semantic curiosity: everything I read about this used the term "online books", not "e-books". I wonder why?

I wonder if there's also the reality: What Google's planning to do lacks the "convenience factor" of ebooks, since you can't download the text and read it on a portable device, or print those pages you want to study more closely. These really are "online books"--usable only online.
