Wired discusses Amazon's Search in the Book feature. Good article.

The more I think about it, the more mind-boggling it becomes. As an example, Amazon lists 138 books that mention "blogs". Imagine if Amazon would give you full-text search, along with cut/copy/paste permission, for all the books you purchase from them. And if Amazon extends the Search in the Book feature to their Web Services API...you won't hear from me for days...

I kick myself every night for selling my Amazon stock. Big mistake. Huge.
