Dave,

We checked into this hack, and it seems that after a certain number  
of page views of a book that Google's system blocks any more pages of  
that book from being seen. A spokesman from Google told us that only  
20% of any copyrighted book in the publisher partner program can be  
viewed, and that this blogger's method doesn't get around that. If  
anyone finds out differently please let us know though.
