I suspect a PI with some heuristics to extract the first sentence would probably have a pretty good chance of finding books at Google.

Longer sentences are more successful. Shouldn't be to difficult to automate picking a random sentence of a minimum length. I found the first sentence isn't the best to use because it is often quoted in other places which can make the results confusing, also how would a program know what's the first sentence, many books have other stuff like reviews for the authors other books at the beginning.
