Google Book Search Goes Mobile

From American Libraries Direct

Google Book Search goes mobile

Marshall Kirkpatrick writes: “Google Book Search Mobile is a very handy new version of the Google site that lets users search through and read 1.5 million books on their phones’ browsers. The books are all scanned as images, but for the new mobile version Google has used OCR to grab the text on the pages.” This text-only feature will allow users to download printed material more quickly over wireless networks....ReadWriteWeb, Feb. 5; New York Times, Feb. 5
