Karl Haberstock. Using Amazon Kindle's "Search Everything" function to quantify, locate, and analyze mentions in ebooks.

Any ebook  or doc file on Kindle is searchable. Amazon's ebook device indexes books and (most) documents and provides fast searches through all content.

If the ebook is loaded on Kindle, the results are immediate. And not limited to books. Kindle also searches through documents.
Immediately, with no coding, preparation or Uniform Resources Identifiers (URIs).
A click on any one of the books displayed will immediately take the user to a list of every text in which the word is mentioned, in context, and available for highlighting in Notes.

While awaiting for the promise of Linked Open Data to be fulfilled, Kindle can provide a simple tool to unify information. The only requirement: to download the ebook to the Kindle device.
