Ya ive been usuing it forpast 2 weeks ?

print.google.com

you need a google account to use it...

and for somethings it only gives you the index or the tabel contentents

even I've used google print in fact almost from the time it launched a long time back ..... it's a useful service in that you can search for terms within a book. That's the beauty of having the entire book indexed. It's superior to Amazon's "Look Inside" feature. The only thing is that you cannot indefinitely keep reading pages from a given book. so that's a limitation.

So it's really cool that now this limitation is going to be removed (well at least for public domain books).

great news... when will happens this ?

 

[sm]

probably soon... but the main thing here is that only old books (that dont have a copyright thing because none existed when they were first published) and other public domain books will have no such restrictions.
Other books will continue to have these restrictions.
