Yes and there I find a description of the book, other books and a few lines about the author. I even CTRL+F on the word "mobileread" but nothing.
I'm obviously missing something here

When *I* click on link, it brings up a search window with the relevant paragraph. Since I can't figure out how to do a copy and paste, here's a snapshot of the page.

I guess that is possible. Anyways I found the text elsewhere and this website is indeed quoted in a line. It's past half of the book and it goes like this:
