About 10-15 years from now, when people used to think of books, the first place that clicked their mind was library. One would have to take some time off and go all the way to the library to find a book. But all this began to change, when technology made its way to the internet. First came in the Search Engines, used to find for (almost) anything you’re looking for, within seconds. Search engines are possibly one of the best things the internet comprises of. And when it comes to books, you might be surprised to know there are specific search engines to search for books as well.
A book search engine functions like any other search engine on the internet. There’s a difference between the two. General search engines, like Google, go through the pages it has indexed and brings out the links, where the phrases or words you enter are mentioned. But a book search engine is designed to go through the millions of books present online and list the most relevant books to your search phrase. The great thing about these search engines is the ability to find very old titles, saving a lot of time and traveling costs to an extent (that means you don’t have to use your car or take a taxi to go all the way to the library). You never have to worry about renting books as you can download books for free. You also do not need to fret about returning them, as they are yours to keep. Plus, books are available in many formats like PDF, Word, PPT, Excel etc., helping you with those college and university assignments. You can keep the book forever, thanks to the huge space hard drives offer these days. There’re more! Not only can you find books based on different subjects and fields, but you can also download and read famous novels, journals and research papers.
There are hundreds of book search engines you can go through. Some have a limited number of book titles while others will have possibly any book you can think of. If you do not know what sites to go for, conduct a Google search and go for the one that tops the search results. Books are still one of the most helpful resources to gain knowledge and learn. And now you have the advantage of picking the best book from a wide range, available online.
