Amazon “Look Inside” and Google Preview
The Amazon “Look Inside” and Google Preview service gives readers a sneak peek of
your book and is included in all publishing packages. When searching Amazon and Google,
customers are able to access a limited preview of your book—about 20% of your book
will be randomly selected by Amazon and Google. Readers have the opportunity to sample pages
through a navigation bar as well as the table of contents and search for specific terms
located within your text.
