Search for short, to the point books

Posted by Jacque on September 3rd, 2007

 There’s something for everyone, it appears, in the realm of books.  Newly launched LazyLibrary is a search engine where you can find books on any topic without having to worry about high page counts.  If it’s over 200 pages, you won’t even see it.  Read all about anything, in less time.

But Mashable says, “LazyLibrary is a front page that offers filtered content for Amazon books, as the reviews, ratings, and prices are reflected from Amazon’s website.  While leveraging Amazon’s user ratings and reviews as comparison points for its own users, this limits the amount of direct value LazyLibrary can offer.”

Other online resources for books include GoodReads, Shelfari and LibraryThing.
