Google Books is a great service that enables you to read and buy a wide range of ebooks online. It allows you to read few free chapters of a book online before you decide to buy them. Reading on a PC is just not the same as reading from a book or magazine for many of us. There is a software that turns your online webpage into a virtual book. GooReader is a free ad supported desktop application that allows you to read Google Books online and offline, add Bookmarks, create a local Library. GooReader aims to address by making it possible to read books both online and offline as well as providing you with a dedicated app for reading. The paid version has an option to save Google Books to PDF, which is not available in the free version.

GooReader provides a sweet interface for reading publicly available books and magazines on Google Books. Instead of page scrolling in your browser you can get pleasure of reading on your desktop in the same way as you read hardcover books or paperback magazines. You can zoom pages, search inside books and even make annotations and save fragments. In GooReader you can create a local Library of Google Books. This Library is saved on your hard drive so you can instantly access your favorite books even offline instead of searching them each time. It allows you to log into your Google account and instantly view your favorite books, picked up from Google Books as well as electronic books purchased in Google eBookstore (except those that are DRM-protected).
