Amazon… In Search Of Not Paying For Books

Amazon’s new search function that allows browsers to search pages of thousands of books seems like a great thing. But some authors and publishers have concerns. “Authors Guild staff members had managed to view and print as many as 100 consecutive pages of several books by searching repeatedly for different terms. Recipes from some cookbooks and details from travel books were also available, meaning that users could print recipes or destination descriptions without buying the books. You don’t even have to wait for Amazon to deliver.”
