' site review
BookStore from MPS Technologies lets publishing companies upload digitised content. But it's more than just a repository, as researchers can use its public web interface to explore and purchase content, either digitally or in print.
Users can choose from three methods of receiving BookStore-hosted content: online read-only, a PDF, or a printed version. Content can be bought from the publishers themselves via BookStore or an e-tailer such as Amazon.
Searches on BookStore work on a similar principle to Google's offering, using keyword findings. BookStore displays the most relevant results from a digitised page. BookStore has the typical functionality that users will be aware of from sites such as Amazon. Supported features include wishlists (publications the user is interested in), book jacket images, and My Bookshelf, which is a favourites section listing recently bought or viewed publications.
