Neither.

可试读--> "Free trail" , "can be downloaded on a free trail basis", or "can be read on a free trail basis".

Note: readable=something that is clear enough to be read.

Pre-read=read before something happens. E.g. Students are urge to pre-read tomorrow's lecture materials before coming to class.
