The Amazon Pages service plans to let customers to buy portions of a book (even just one page) for online viewing.
Amazon Upgrade service will offer full online access when a traditional text is purchased.
Both services are expected to begin in 2006.
The cost for most books would be a few cents per page, although readers would likely be charged more for specialized reference works.
Under Amazon Upgrade, anybody purchasing a paper book will get instant online access to it, plus they will receive a physical copy of the book.
The new programs are an extension of Amazon's ``Search Inside the Book,'' which lets users browse a book's contents for free.
Amazon Shorts, another program, offers brief, original fiction and nonfiction for 49 cents each.
