Amazon.com Un-Bundles Books, Eyes Rival Google

Quote:Amazon.com Inc. on Thursday said it would offer customers the option of buying online access to any page or section of a book, as well as the entire book, in an announcement that came the same day that rival Google Inc. started offering online access to library books and documents.

...customers would have the option of "un-bundling" any of hundreds of thousands of books in its Amazon Pages program. Researchers, for example, could choose to buy just the pages or sections they need and read them online.

In addition, Amazon.com said it would give customers buying a physical book the option of also having that book available online for reading. The program is called Amazon Upgrade.
