    With full-text books there’s only a narrow window of maybe 5 lines in view so you have to keep scrolling, very irritating to me. I’ll have to call same book up in the old site to see whole pages. What’s this about? Is there a button to see full pages?

    Computer, tablet, and/or mobile? I'm not seeing anything like that looking at a free novel-type book.

    Opens in the old Google Books.

    I'm looking at it on a desktop, and it appears there's a search criteria entered into the search entry box, hence the partitioned search results (narrow panels). However, it displays in full pages upon initial click of the URL, but if I hit the back button, it goes to the search view.

    Do you see see a "Clear search" anywhere?

    I just tried on my iPad. There is a Close Search in the upper right. If you tap that, it should display full pages.
