TESTING NEW GOOGLE BOOKS FEATURES!

Am I the only person excited about the new Google Books features?



This is what I'm reading:
Nabokov's "Good Readers and Good Writers" from Lectures on Literature.
(added the essay to my short list after THIS entry @ Wisdom of the West)




Feel free to read along!

More info on Google Books updates HERE, HERE, and HERE.

The new features include embedding (see above), a more comprehensive search engine (to locate text within books, and the books themselves), more intuitive navigation, and a sleeker interface.

I, personally, LOVE the changes.

Also, Google Books has reached a landmark legal settlement allowing the service to provide online access to (potentially) millions more books than it previously could!
