Just a quick note that Google only indexes the first 100 or 150K of eBooks (they didn't give me a firm number, but confirmed there was a limit). This means that quotes from later parts of our eBooks > ~150K won't be found.
This is true for our books, as searched for by Google in general, like any other page, but it is not true for the Google Print search results; when they search Google Print, they do search the whole text, regardless of length. I did confirm this by searching for quotes that were near the ends of books.

Aren't the PG eBooks already in Google Print? That's what I heard, so I would have figured they would have re-indexed them to make them complete??? I wonder if they left the old files, and just are making new ones, still from PG eBooks? If so, how would you tell the difference? mh
