Google Launches Web Book Reader

This week, Google launched an online web book reader integrated with their Google Book Search. When searching for books, users have the option of using Adobe Reader or the new web reader instead. The online reader offers many features, including zooming, a fullscreen mode, the ability to switch to a two-page view that appears like an actual book, easy scrolling through the book using the mouse. Next to the book is a convenient "search this book" box as well as a linked table of contents so you can click into different sections of the book. Above the search box near the bottom are links to buy the book at several different online retailers. Who needs Adobe?
