The site, in 2010
Google's search engine for the full text of books and magazines, scanned from library shelves and supplied by publishers.
Scanned pages are read by OCR so every word can be searched. By October 2019 Google had scanned more than 40 million titles. A long copyright fight, Authors Guild v. Google, was decided in Google's favour.
In 2010: Google estimated that about 130 million distinct books existed, and said it meant to scan every one.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
