A Few About Amazon.com’s New Search Feature

Addendum 11/6: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer talks about some of the copyright implications of Amazon.com’s new search engine featuring the full-text of books. Authors claim that someone could read, print, and/or download entire books using the search feature–a violation of copyright law.
