I think a major advantage of these online libraries is that many books go out of print, and these archives are often the only way to read them. Some books on Permaculture come to mind...

I was just trying to find "The Search for the Elements" by Asimov.

It's annoying to me that obscure 1980s children's books from authors no one's heard to are out of print and hard to find, but here's a science history book by one of the most famous authors around, and it's out of print with no ebook ever published. I can buy a used trade paperback for $35, use OpenLibrary, or pirate a PDF.
