File viewer with search filter by category and sub categories Drupal 7

Question

I want to create a site running locally(localhost) which views files that are uploaded by authorized user. Using search filter by category and sub categories, all ebooks that are included in that sub categories will be shown. How to create this kind of search? Is there any module that will do exactly this one?

Ex, IT books---->programming books--->. Then it will display all programming books that are already been uploaded. When click to one of the programming books, it will display all the pages, like those in adobe reader. The concept is like that. how could i achieve this one? I'm having way too much problems searching for file viewer modules that will perfectly work. Hope you can help me.

A vocabulary of taxonomy terms could be set up to reflect the hierarchy of books.
Then you could attach this vocabulary to your node content type. After uploading a file to a node, you can tag the node with the appropriate term.
Views allows you to filter by taxonomy term of any depth.

This would organize your data, but you'll need to use some plugin/other means to display the book in adobe reader in the browser.
