Google To Launch Google Print

Slashdot reports about Google Print:

Rescate writes 'As reported by Reuters,Google is launching Google Print, which will show book excerpts next to regular Google search results. A spokesman said, 'We're trying to index every book there is, and make it searchable for our users.' Even though this competes with Amazon's A9 search which also searches within books, Google says the two companies will continue to work together, and that Google Print will link to Amazon, as well as other sellers, to buy books listed in the search results. Google will demonstrate the technology Thursday, Oct. 7 at the Frankfurt Book Fair.'
