Read The First Chapter of Any Book at BookDaily

Buying stuff from a brick and mortar store has definite advantages that’s hard to beat. First is instant gratification, you pay for what you want and then walk out with your purchase in hand. Second, and probably the most important, you can inspect your items for damage before you buy them.

Buying books online has another problem – you can’t read random pages from the book to see if the content is useful, or if the style is likeable. Amazon offers a few sample pages from the book which you can read online for free before you decide to buy. But if two-three pages is not enough for your to judge a book, you can turn to BookDaily.

At BookDaily you can read the entire first chapter from more than 80,000 titles. Simply go to the site, search for the book you want and then read the first chapter, then and there. You can also download an audio clip of the first chapter.

With a collection of 80,000 titles, it’s certainly not very large and encompassing like Amazon (which has close to 30 million books at the time of this writing) but not small by any means either. (Last year, Google announced that there are 129 million books in the world as of August 1, 2010.)

BookDaily can also email you the first chapter of all the books you wish to read, every day – one book a day. Just create an account on the website and add your books to a list, and everyday BookDaily will send you the first chapter by email.

The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website.

So, here is how you can do that.
