I had an interesting research/commercial lesson yesterday. . I found a book I wanted to read on Worldcat which I then ordered through ILL. Since it was published ca 1907 [dates differ] I went to see if it was on Googlebooks to download. Google said it was available in a Kindle version for 99 cents. So I decided to buy the Kindle version. In the process of buying the book I saw that the Internet Archive was mentioned in connection with the book. I then went to Internet Archive and saw that the book was available there as a download, also.
Now the takeaway of this: The book on Kindle is images. You cannot do a string search on the Kindle images.
On Internet Archive you can download the book as a text file. You can do a string search on the downloaded text file. 
Getting the book on Internet Archive was much more rewarding.

The table of contents for Twelve Virginia counties, where the western migration began / by John H. Gwathmey is in alpha order by topics not in numerical order. Very different.

BRINGING DEAD LINKS BACK TO LIFE

We’ve all had the experience of following a hyperlink only to find a terse and rather geeky message, “404 Document Not Found.” But “not found” may not necessarily mean “gone forever.” The page you are looking for may have been archived by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine and be only a click away. 

Working with Mozilla, publisher of the popular web browser, Firefox, we developed a free, experimental add-on for Firefox that automatically provides you with links to archived copies of otherwise "not found" web pages available via the Wayback Machine. Please join in our experiment by enabling the Firefox add-on and emailing any feedback to info@archive.org.
