Authors on Amazon's book search


Amanda’s mentioned how much fun Miss LL and indeed many of us are having with Amazon’s new book text search function — but it seems that the Author’s Guild is less pleased, “conclud[ing] that these publishers do not have the right to participate in this program without their authors’ permission.”

The Importance Of — an always-excellent blog covering technology, rights, law and nearly everything in between — has more, including a full copy of the Guild’s email.
