Google looking to copy Amazon?
Google declined to specify its plans, saying only that it has had some contact with the book industry. “We’re talking to a few publishers and always looking to add more content that will make the search more useful for customers,” said the firm’s Cathy Gordon.
But according to a report from one publisher, Google has said it has reached agreements that allow it to enter as many as 60,000 titles in its database and also presented extensive mock-ups to publishers of how book-relevant searches will look.
