Google has launched fast flip which in my opinion is a pretty cool addition to the Google family. Designed with the intention to merge offline and online reading experiences it provides a user experience not dissimilar to reading or scanning a magazine or newspaper.

By providing screen shots of major media sources you can get a quick visual fix with ease. It helps to have a decent size screen resolution in my opinion.

The only way to really get a feel for it is to try it.
