My apologies. I gave the wrong link.

Rel means related word.
Con means contrasted word.

Dear Soup,

Thank you very very much. I love this e-book very much.

1) May I know how shall I search for e-book w/all contents shown via internet?

2) Is it a trend that most of the books with contents are being posted online for viewing like the one you showed to me, "Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic'?

Expecting for your reply
