Okay, you can kind of tell I was getting tired & this blogging effort shows it. Nevertheless, it was an interesting look at the searching full-text books on Google, Amazon and Individual Publishers.
Amazon's "Search Inside the Book" - A9
Google Book Search
Open Content Alliance
Individual publishers initiatives
Open Web
look inside products ,,,
http://www.a9.com
uses boolean AND
search books on Amazon
uses proximity
Amazon Online Reader
search inside - full text
look inside - partial.... TOC and some excerpt (not fully searchable)
browse toc
Amazon Viewer - buy online book, can annotate,
Google books non-controversial scanned books "Google Book Search"
http://books.google.com
doesn't say publisher program vs. library program
1923 - present under copyright - link to find this link in a library
http://www.openlibrary.org
cool page turning cool book interface. Actually feel like you are in
a book
search phrase on open web - sometimes you turn up a copy
query:

the end.
