Tim O'Reilly, long a proponent of Google Book Search, has a post in which he laments the fact that books housed in the different book scanning projects (Google Books, OCA, Amazon Search Inside) are not searchable by search engines other than those provided by their hosts. Surely it will only be a matter of time before these databases are included in the link resolvers and their brethren?
