Trying to put books from Google on the iPhone

I did a Google search for a book and it was available for download as a pdf file. I'm trying to import it to Stanza, but when I put it on the phone, I can't get past the Google disclaimer page. Any suggestions?

When you download a book from

When you download a book from Google, you get a pdf of images of the pages of the book. You'll notice that you also can't copy text from a downloaded Google book. Since it's all just images, the text can't be extracted, so it can't be converted to a format readable by Stanza iPhone.

You can read Google books on the iPhone using Google's book website in Safari. Learn more about it here:
