Sony and Google

SAN FRANCISCO — Aiming to outdo Amazon.com and recapture the crown for the most digital titles in an e-book library, Sony is announcing Thursday a deal with Google to make a half million copyright-free books available for its Reader device, a rival to the Amazon Kindle.

Here is the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/19/te..._r=1&th&emc=th

You need a NY Times registration to access that link.

The books available to Reader owners were written before 1923 and include classics like “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” by Mark Twain, and “The Awakening,” by Kate Chopin, as well as harder-to-find titles like “The Letters of Jane Austen.”

I just realized that the thread was also opened here:

I received the email - I'm just being a bit dense - I can't figure out from the reader software, where you have the search button that goes to google? Is it withing the desktop application?

Go into the store part and there is a Google banner on the right side of the main page.
