The modern books that are still in copyright won't be in the full view. If it's an old book then you might be in luck.
I hear demonoid has a few.
ebooks suck.
I never really liked the idea of ebooks.
I like reading, but I imagine reading a book on a screen would hurt my eyes.
Well, one of the major reasons why I hate e-books is that you can't flip through them. I feel like I'm a slave to going linearly through the book. The format would work well for a reference work like an encyclopedia or a dictionary, but even then there is something to be said for being able to just flip through a dictionary or encyclopedia.
That, and tree-carcass books are quite a bit more durable than electronic books. I got drop, stuff, bang, etc. a real book without having to worry about it not working, but a even a relatively durable portable device is much more prone to breaking. Or its batteries could simply run out, and if there's one less way that I can be liberated from electronic power, then all the better.
Well the oled technology is going to help with your eyes in book readers.

The funny thing is that I don't even bother to check arXiv unless I have a specific citation to look up there, which is rare.
