Searchable books over at Amazon.com. The article is long and full of unimportant details. Here’s the gist:
An ingenious attempt to illuminate the dark region of books is under way at Amazon.com. Over the past spring and summer, the company created an unrivaled digital archive of more than 120,000 books. The goal is to quickly add most of Amazon’s multimillion-title catalog. The entire collection, which went live Oct. 23, is searchable, and every page is viewable.
This wins the coveted “SUPERRAD” award.
Yes, I did just make that up. Work’s a little slow today.
