ivyficGoogle makes books searchable. No, I'm not talking about the web search function--we already knew that was coming. But now Google will make it possible to search the text of a book you are holding in your hands.
"When you line up the camera in front of a book barcode, it will automatically zoom, focus and scan the ISBN - without you even needing to click the shutter. As you can see below, you'll then have the option to search the full text of the book on Google Book Search right away."
THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. WHY WASN'T THIS AVAILABLE WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL.
