| | I never thought that Google could help you read any book you like (except a few restricted pages). But it really does
10 Steps:
1. go to http://print.google.com/
2. enter the name of any book u like
3. Now that u can see the names of books, click on the book that you like
4. Goto the CONTENTS page and see if the book has all that u are looking for
5. Note the page number of the book hat interests you.
6. There is an option "SEARCH WITHIN THE BOOK". Just enter the page number (say 152) of the book and hit ENTER
7. Some links gets opened. Click the one that shows "Page 152"
8. U can read 3 pages before and 3 pages after your specified page. Now enter the page number that u want to read (in the similar fashion)
9. In this way u can read all the books of the world that is with GOOGLE.
10. ENJOY |

Nice! I love it. I am reading several right now. I wonder if this is legal and if the writers said Google could do this? It truely is awesome. Probably a good thing. Now you can read a book from anywhere. want some problems though? You can't read or print out the whole book or save it to disk. Meaning you have to stay conected the whole time. Which is a pain. It would be nice if you could have the option to download it. but then that would be giving them away for free and you could get into legal trouble them.

Nice tip. It does seem to work. I did not have the patience to keep reading a whole book that way though. I am a fast reader and this method is too tedious, especially if I got involved in a mystery or other story. If I see something I like, I can just surf over to my library's website and put it on reserve, I guess. I'm just waiting for the day when you can read anything available at libraries online, lol. As it is, there's so many free Ebooks out there, I have more than enough fiction to read already. I've always had a hard time getting rid of books I have bought, even to give them to a friend, or sell them to a used bookstore. I have a tendency to collect books offline, and it's carried over to online. I have several hundred ebooks, at least, that I've picked up on the web for free. I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. And I try to stay away from Gutenberg or my hard drive would be full of Ebooks, lol. As it is, I think right now, I'm mostly interested in ebooks that teach HTML, CSS, and stuff like that. Preferably ones that take it in easy steps. I've sort of looked around for some, but haven't really tried an all-out search yet. It's really easy to find advanced programming books online, but not as easy to find more basic ones at the sites I go to. I would rather download than read it online, since I can open it up whenever I want, bookmark pages and not have to login somewhere. I just can't resist free books!

I agree with Earth's Daughter.. I read too quickly for that. But I think it's quite useful if you can't afford to buy a book. The thing is, there's libraries... I mean it's not that hard to just get a book out lol. I mean, I even have a library at school. And even though books are sometimes expensive I like buying them, it feels good.

It's very useful if u can't find some info right away and don't find a free book on the subject. If i was very interested in smth i would find a way to get it offline (lol, there are the temp dirs where the web pages are stored and so on), i would even printscreen it and have it OCRed. My sister does this for some time and she isn't interested at all in computers. I've seen those links to google books through searches but was never interested enough to click. Good thing to know for everyone that can't afford a book. Thanks man.

I dunno about general books - novels can be expensive, hard to find all the time in libraries, which is why this is a rather nice feature from Google. However, for those who're looking for textbooks, I'm noticing that a lot of people are actually writing texts that they are giving away for free. It's interesting to watch the whole 'information is free' movement. I'm not too sure about texts on microbiology or archeaology (spelling?), but I have used texts on programming and math that I've downloaded without paying a cent. Google "free texts on <subject of your choice>" and it should get you started... just a thought. Cheers!

I can't resist free books either Earth's Daughter. But why go to a library when you can read them online. I just don't like the fact that you can't red it all at once. So I have this here idea see? Why not take the book and lay it all out in one page, and then have a menu bar that floats along side so you can go to various chapters. It would take an adnvanced Javascript code to link to all the chapters in the page to jump to, but you would always have the menu with you. Anyway, only so much for free. I wouldn't go to a library now. Just need a way to extract it all. I wonder if I could put all the pages into a java or iframe and save it to a disk. If I succeed I will have to write a tutorial. sorry for the second post guys, just an update on thoughts and talking about your responses.

It's nice. It's easy to read too. Sometimes on those kinds of site the font is impossible to read. This could be helpful in many ways - like if a good book was recommended to you, there is now no need to rent or buy the book online. Good development in online literature but I wonder how google can pay the publishers and get it to us for free at the same time. Or maybe the publishers pay google

Its a good tool considering Questia is an online research tool that college students and people use to do research papers. Its really useful. However there is a subscription that cost money. Google doing this will be good for research and therefore compete with other companies. lol. I sound so weird. anyways I'm glad google has come out with this. I don't like reading books online that much. Strains the eyes. all that radiation. lol

Yeah it would be great if the popular books were there, but alas they wont be for a couple of years, The harry potter series has become quite popular and i doubt that they'd every make it onto the site, as Rowling will want as much money as she can get. Although i never knew about the E-Books but i did know that you can download the books on wav files and listen to some guy read them aloud. I tried looking for that pokemon book and it was gone,  but i did find another strange pokemon book, it mentioned how pokemon has made it to the stage. How would people do a play on pokemon!? is it about ash going around throwing balls at monsters? (i'd hate to be that kid) Anyway Google seems to become increasingly popular these days i wonder whats next.

That book is Sophie's World. It's a novel explaining the history of philosophy... and I love philosophy! It explains it in a fun to read way. It also was a New York Times best-seller, so I recommend you all to read it. QUOTE I searched pokemon out of sheer curiosity and it came up with a book about killing pokemon. HAHAHA! I have yet to see that! Besides that, I have nothing else to say... Back on topic: I agree with the others that popular books won't be around there... It's mainly because they still have time to rake in the money. I've seen Harry Potter E-Books around, and I don't think Rowling can do anything to stop that... However, like I said, it's much better to have the real book in the first place.

What book is it? Any good? Back on topic, I checked out this site and it seems to only have old books and most i havent even heard of, but the good thing is that when i get homework at school to read a book i can do it on the computer just to annoy the teachers. I searched pokemon out of sheer curiosity and it came up with a book about killing pokemon.
