Amazon Debuts New Book Search Tool

Amazon is releasing a new option in the Amazon search, "Search Inside the Book". This option not only lets you see the book, but you can also get the whole text for the book. This makes it easier for the reader in the fact that when they are viewing the book on their computer or laptop, it is very easy to navigate through the book. Either going forward or backward. Even though this new technology certainly has its positives, it also has negatives. The search option is not always accurate. While conducting a search for "sports broadcaster" by the author, no relative results came up. Also, the table of contents do not contain hyper links to go to a specific chapter, you would have to keep scrolling through till you found that chapter.
