I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Oprah, or to be more precise, Oprah's Book Club, is being sued by the inventor/patent attorney Scott C. Harris for infringing upon his patent for 'Enhancing Touch and Feel on the Internet.' So Oprah's Book Club is now one of many people being sued over this patent because they allow people to view part, but not all, of a book online before they purchase it. Mr. Harris also sued Google Books for infringing upon this patent. He actually was fired from being a partner at Fish & Richardson for that, because Google is a client of that law firm and they had conflict of interest rules to uphold."
