Google launches a competitive format with Adobe Reader

On November 22, Google launched an e-book reader, similar to Adobe Reader, on its online Book Search service. Like Google Maps and Gmail, the new interactive tool works directly on the Web browser and supports zooming, zooming and full screen mode.

Read Google "PDF" format books

Digital books of Book Search service are still downloadable as PDF files, however, with Google's new online utility, the Adobe Reader reader is redundant and unnecessary. Users can set up to read two pages (like a real book), or read a page on a standard web screen. The page conversion simply uses the mouse.

On the right-hand side of the book page, users can find search engines and content lists, which help move to different parts of the book, as well as links to many online book selling websites such as Amazon, BookSense .

Currently, the number of titles provided by Google Book Search is still quite limited because it is in the process of digitizing a large number of titles of world-famous libraries such as: University of Michigan, California, Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and the New York Public Library. Recently, Google has signed a scanning agreement of 3 million titles of the University of Madrid.
