Most of the comments I've seen from authors have been pretty negative.

My limited understanding is that previously they had a 1:1 backing of physical book to what could be "checked out" digitally. Now with the NEL they've removed this backing and are duplicating copies without a physical book to match.

I'd really hate for the internet archive to run afoul of the law here and have it impact the other legal archiving that they do.
