[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really like the set up of google books.  Not a fan. [/quote]

Interesting.

May I ask why?[/quote]

Sure.  First, I hate the set up of it.  The first few times I've tried to use it, I've searched for the book or author I want and the list comes up.  It doesn't tell me until I've clicked on it if there is an ebook available or not.  9 times out of 10, I don't want a free preview.  On the off chance I do, I don't like having to scroll or how it still has all the stuff on the side.  Make it a pop up window of just the preview and it will be easier to read.   Ok so I'm looking for a book and it says no ebook available.  It provides a link for Amazon.com, but if you click on the link, the information sent over is a series of numbers that Amazon doesn't recognize.  Ok, so I can search for it in a library near me and it tells me the results.  Ok.

For all that effort, I'd much rather go to Amazon.com's Kindle store, plug in the name of the book and download it to my Kindle.  It takes about 3-4 steps, whereas Google books is just confusing and frustrating.  [/quote]
