HarpersCollins Publishers has a website where you can “browse inside” a book before you buy it. The hope is that you’ll read some of a book online and then have to rush right out to Borders, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon to buy it. If you chose, and you have time – say you are sitting at work all day with nothing to do – you could read an entire book on-line. The selection of books is limited to those published by HarpersCollins, and then only a selection – well, okay, 11,556 books total. So enough to keep you busy for a while. The site can be a bit cumbersome and unresponsive, especially navigating book titles and searching for content, but it is an impressive effort.
