No EcoGeek books yet.

"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Once upon a time, all the world's stored information was in hefty volumes of bleached tree bodies. A lot of it is still locked up in there, not universally available, and less useful than we've come to expect. Google has beeen working on this problem, and they're a step closer today.

Google books has, for some time now, allowed users to search the full text of thousands of books, read a few related pages, and then buy hardcopies from booksellers. But now Google is allowing publishers to sell full-text books online. There's still a ways to go, but Google is bringing the paperless book closer to reality. I'm stoked. To Google Books
