Too shy or lazy to sneak peeks in the bookstore? Here's Google to the rescue.

I know that Google Print -- Google's initiative to scan and place online full-text and searchable book pages -- is not really new news.

One thing that's both interesting and refreshing to note is that Google does not get a kickback from any book sales. As usual, it makes money solely off the clearly-marked paid ads on the right-hand side of its pages.



(But sorry, folks, a search for Kama Sutra doesn't yield any book hits).
