Inserting a LOT of Text?

[Trugmaker]

I wrote a book a year ago, and I want to offer a sample chapter on my website. Of course, approx. 7 pages of A4 is not acceptable, so is it possible to create a 'pop-up' for the PDF Chapter to be inserted that can open or run like a video?

Popups with PDF may not be reliable because it assumes the browser has built-in support for PDF, which is not always the case.
So, it may better to provide a download link to the PDF instead.

In reality 7 pages of A4 is nothing compared to the large blogs we see now a days. Many people use website directly to show documentation, installation guide, manuals directly on websites with hundreds and thousands of pages.

You can do the designing more beautifully and it would be responsive for both desktop and mobile. It would be searchable and easily updateable. If 5 page-sections can be combined to a landing page then 7 page is nothing much inside a website as a sample chapter.

That is just from my perspective.

PDFS are best for quick document export and distribution or for printing like as you have mentioned the word "Book".

Perhaps this would be a simple method of just displaying the seven pages in text rather than having it in a pdf pop up. This would allow it to look like a book to be read then you can use a link to download the pdf itself.
