Searching internet archive for books is really great. I do prefer books to online reading, and often times I can get a book I'm interested in via inter-library loan if I am willing to wait. However if I can read the first chapter online on the internet archive I know if it's worth the wait to read the actual book. I do see it mentioned quite often on HN, but I feel like the population in general when I mention it I don't get the same response I do if I mention say Google or Wikipedia. I would not say IA is on par with those in terms of how often I use it, but it definitely offers something significant that is not offered elsewhere as far as I can tell.
