Do a search for a word in the title and you get every even page in the book as a search result, but only if the title font is OCR readable, which Tiltboys isn't. The only pages this might not find are the first page of each chapter which usually don't have a header.Kimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22044547.post-27738719255457656542008-01-16T21:57:00.000-08:002008-01-16T21:57:00.000-08:00thanx for such nice tips i really like it a lot no...thanx for such nice tips i really like it a lot now i can read my favorite book for free in amazon.comjasminetech-chek.blogspot.comjasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03386124322179738066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22044547.post-55127495859319722912008-01-16T21:42:00.000-08:002008-01-16T21:42:00.000-08:00Enter page numbers...simplest way to search...that...Enter page numbers...simplest way to search...thats my opportunity cost for deducing MACSSupreeth Kinihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866841213390463937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22044547.post-52699730012759895312008-01-16T20:10:00.000-08:002008-01-16T20:10:00.000-08:00So Amazon now has a limit on the number of pages f...So Amazon now has a limit on the number of pages from a book that a user may view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22044547.post-83533473015907419122008-01-16T10:29:00.000-08:002008-01-16T10:29:00.000-08:00Or, heaven forbid actually buy the book... radical...Or, heaven forbid actually buy the book... radical solution I know...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22044547.post-20041752728655167402008-01-16T08:19:00.000-08:002008-01-16T08:19:00.000-08:00wiki please :) also very nice discovery .wiki please :) also very nice discovery .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22044547.post-25137730532735676212008-01-15T17:12:00.000-08:002008-01-15T17:12:00.000-08:00tsiakhyie asked "what made you refer to the set of...tsiakhyie asked "what made you refer to the set of keywords as 'minimal amazon covering set'? It sounds mathematical".Yes, it's a mathematical concept, although someone on Myspace pointed out that it should be "minimum" not "minimal", since there could be more than one minimum covering set but minimal implies uniqueness.
