In a November 3rd press release, Amazon.com has announced plans for a new digital book program, Amazon Pages, which will allow customers to purchase online access to any page or section of a book, as permitted by the publisher.
Another program, Amazon Upgrade, will allow customers who buy books to upgrade their service to include unlimited online access to the entire text.
"In collaboration with our publishing partners," says Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, "we're working hard to make the world's books instantly accessible anytime and anywhere."
