I’m a huge nerd for books, and Amazon only makes it easier to obsess.
Amazon’s “Search Inside” feature is pretty handy, but once you page through a few pages, you get stuck, so it makes it hard to get a good sample of the book before they cut you off.
More often than not, you can page through the Table of Contents, find a section you want to look for, and then search for that page number.
Once you page through a few pages, you can search for the page you left off on, until you hit their hard limit of page views for the day.
