Bug Description
Interface request : Offer links to ways to read a work directly from search results:
read online (whatever the default is, currently flipbook), other downloadable formats (txt/html/pdf/other from IA)
That way a searcher who wants to browse the text of a number of results can open new windows for each of them and browse the books themselves efficiently. I would like the same thing, with more detail, on the edition details page.
There is space in the current search result entry to add these links without taking up more space on the screen, which is also good for smaller displays.

In particular, epub formats would be useful in OL -- for some devices and interfaces epub is one of the best fast-rendering formats. Where possible, epub formats should be available for books [often these are better laid out than the available html formats]
