Google Launches Feature to Read Book Excerpts and Links to Purchase

This news may remind readers of Amazon’s Search Inside the Book service, launched last October. But this time the source is Google, who announced that their Google Print service is no longer in testing mode: “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Since a lot of the world’s information isn’t yet online, we’re helping to get it there. Google Print puts the content of books where you can find it most easily; right in Google search results.” [Link]
