+ Google Book Search Offers New Look, Features
Several new features including the option to continuous scroll, enlarge pages (hooray), find related materials, and full screen view. Several of these features have been part of Amazon's Search Inside the Book for a while. However, that does not mean they are not more than welcome from GBS.
Compare if you like the same book via:
GBS Default View ||| "About this Book View" (found on default view page in the summary section)
It appears that the two page view is only available for full view books. What's a full view book vs other views (Limited Preview, Snippet View)? See this page.
