The concept of Windows Live Book Search was first introduced in October and then discussed in May at Book Expo America (BEA) 2006. Since then, the Redmond, Wash.-based company has worked to gain input—including that of the book-publisher community.
“We’re not quoting specific numbers, but we’ve certainly had a very positive response, both at BEA and after BEA,” says Cliff Guren, group product manager for eReading at Microsoft. “As we make the rounds to some of the larger publishing houses, we’re also getting a very positive response from them as well. They appreciate the efforts we’re making to respect their rights and give them flexibility and control over their content.”
