Some of us maybe still read Books and Magazine's offline and pay for it.. but, nowadays there is a new way to read Books and Magazines online.. Google Book Search is a new feature from Google that provide the ability to read Books and Magazine..
In some case, we may be able to read the entire Books or Magazine, but often the Books and Magazines that we can read has a limit on it page.. so, we cant read entire books or magazines..
At least we can get an preview about the content of those books or magazines..
