Google Books has a great full-text book search and its Library Project where it partners with some of the best libraries in the world will make book search only better. There are nearly 20, publishers and authors under the umbrella of Google Books and most titles give you a handful of pages to check out before you decide to buy the book or save it for a better one.

Not all books will give you a preview, but the ones that do are worth a turn of the page. The other great name when it comes to books and sundry other items. Amazon has turned an upward curve with Kindle and eBooks.

The tool allows you to search and browse millions of books across Amazon. You can set up a search based on every word and key phrase inside a book, not just for the book title or the author.

As the screenshot shows, there are many ways to look into the content of a book. Then you can dive into Amazon Reader, and preview publisher-provided sample pages, go to linked book sections, or look for all references to a term or phrase.

Book Daily is specifically about book samples for book lovers. With 80, books and their first chapters on offer, I would say that this is a great site to bookmark if you want to grab hold of clues on what to read next.

One of our readers mentioned it in the comments on my previous article - 5 Websites That Alert Book Lovers About New Book Releases. The site is slick and uncluttered, so grab a mug of coffee, open up a book and read the first chapter.

DailyLit is another book site you should bookmark, not only because it is one of the few that lets you read books by email , but also because the book site also gives you many titles for free.

Their sponsorship program enables them to do that and send you scheduled emails so that you can finish a copyrighted book from your inbox. Unlike book sites with sample chapters, DailyLit really takes you through the whole hog of finishing a book in installments.

Here are some examples of how I make my fantasy books. Hope you like it :. Now I've seen this book cover used, but I kind of wanted to just make my own.

This picture just caught my eye and I just felt like doing a cover about it and this is it. I guess this is about a story about a blue butterfly that came to life and become a girl. And she has powers and she has a mission. Now this is what I've been wanting to do, even with a story but I wasn't that good in grammar and constructing a very original concept.

But I guess this cover is a little simple, but on the first editing I don't know where to put the letters. This story is just about something strange that was happening in New York, they like see some vanishing people, and people who teleport randomly. And sometimes they can see mysterious creatures that wanders around.

Now there's this guy who believed that there's a hidden portal to the world and his father has also predicted it.

So he studied all of the things about it, and the next few days he found one portal, but was this the right one? This cover hunts me a little. And it's very simple to make actually.

This is a story about a hunter in a village who never left a trace nor he ever showed up to people. Sometimes when people needed help because the enemies where trying to kill them, he killed them in a very fast pace that left people confused.

Somehow, there's this little girl who can actually see him whenever she plays with her friends in the forest. Sometimes I see him behind bones, and sometimes he stands on the trees".

That's what the girl says when she always sees him. Why can she see him? Is there a reason? Is he some kind of her protector? I really like mermaid stories, and I do believe that they are out there too.

Now this book cover tells a story, and as you can see it's a Mermaid who is saving humans. More like a little mermaid but this is a little different. This is about a mermaid who was an outcast because her mother was actually a human, that's why she looks more beautiful than the other mermaids, and looked more of a human being than of a mermaid.

She has been hated by mermaids because she kept on caring about human on the point that she has been forbidden to enter the kingdom where she saved a man that she loves and it was human.

I do not own the images. But hope you guys like it, if you want me to make your book covers just send me a message or reply down below the comments.

Jan 28, PM in response to sberman. I guess that is why you don't own Apple and why you don't govern Apple. This is from Apple's website for authors and publishers: "If you sell a book in the iBooks Store , you need to create a sample book for customers to preview before they purchase.

Read this Apple Support Link. From what I'm gathering after reading it, samples are handled differently in that they evidently don't save for later use. You tap on the sample, read it and decide if you want to purchase the book. My experience has been that book samples are not saved in the Books app at all.

Purchased books are, of course, saved. But not book samples.
