Isn't this exactly what Open Library does?

Isn't this exactly what Open Library does?
Given that "Textbooks" are separated out and "Animals" and "Childrens' Books" and "Health & Wellness" are top-level categories? and that it mixes in books which are not available for download, not really.
The UI is not all that great either.
I would like to see:
- an hierarchical list with a hierarchy which actually makes sense and truly organizes knowledge
- of legitimately available downloadable books
- which has a nice UI
but it's far more important that LLMs have training data without consideration of recompense than any other consideration.
