If you missed it in the news this morning, Google launched their eBook store.  Google's blog post on their launch can be found here.<http://booksearch.blogspot.com/?utm_source=gbssite&utm_campaign=gbsblog&utm_medium=et>

The text of these books is viewable and searchable from the web.  Looking for a  quote?  Search Google Books<http://books.google.com/books>.  Looking for “Call me Ishmael” yields not only Moby Dick, but also books regarding the thinking and history of Melville’s work.
