Google Print?
Yes, Google Print.
“What does it all mean, Mr. Network Geek, sir?” you ask? Well, your Uncle Jim will tell you. It means that Google is scanning every book they can get their hands on and entering them into a great big database so you can search them. Of course, when you find what you’re looking for in that book, they’ll offer up links to on-line retailers where you can buy said book, but that’s to be expected, isn’t it? What it also means is that you can make sure that any book you want to buy has what you’re looking for actually in it before you buy it from Amazon.com
or wherever. Speaking as someone that’s bought books he later regreted spending money on, this could be a very, very cool thing.
