Barnes & Noble “Read Instantly”

The Barnes & Noble “Read Instantly” Feature gives readers a sneak peek of your book and is included in all publishing packages that contain e-book formatting. This service offers readers a limited preview of your book, usually the front and back covers, table of contents, and first few pages—about 20% of your book will be randomly selected by Barnes and Noble. Using navigation tools, readers can scan all the preview pages online or search for specific terms located within your text.
