It is more than enough compensation. I think that kramnik is going to have more problems against computer that he knows nothing about it's weaknesses even if the computer did no preperation against kramnik. Playing against the computer to learn it's weaknesses is very important. Book is not so important because at least with white it is easy to throw the opponent out of book in few books with equality.
