“Google Print has stirred up a hornet’s nest of controversy, but another company has been offering online book search capabilities, with the blessings of publishers, for years.

“Ebrary has been around since 1999. The company offers numerous services including one that lets you search and read over 20,000 in-copyright books for free. You pay only to print and copy text.”
