search all book *contents* @ amazon.com


Just thought i'd give an FYI about what i just noticed on amazon:

find any word in any book at amazon. ("120,000+ books and 33 million pgs" worth)

Pretty spiffy. As a test, I tried searching for "ansible" and i got matches in the ender
series of books with the page numbers and surrounding paragraph. You can also find all
occurences of search terms in any book.
