What has changed with the book search?
Google Book search lets you instantly search the full text of over a million digitized books, but they thought that wasn't quite enough.Now when you search you'll get both digitized book results as well as records for millions of other books that still just exist in the analog world. When you look at the newly added book records you can read reviews, summaries, or hear what other people had to say about the book. You can't preview the text online, but if you've discovered something great, they offer links to buy the book or find it in a library near you.
Do you think people will still be reading books in 10 years? Why or why not?
Yes because even if you can get a lot of information from books on Google Book Search there will still be people that want to open up a book and read it the old fashion way.
How long do you currently read online per day (in hours)? How long do you currently read offline per day (in hours)?
I would say that I read an hour in a half online per day. I currently read an average of one hour offline per day.
