Anyway the original posting about the books is very good, my point was that when you offer something to induce someone to read, maybe buy..., you should make it as easy as possible, since otherwise it kind of defeats its purpose to some extent.

I agree about the ease of use statement for samples. They've done this type of thing before. Scott Sigler was their "big name" author before he signed with Crown, and he had them release his work
Ancestor as a .pdf that he could put in his RSS feed. That looked a
lot cleaner than any of the copies that they're offering here. Also, the delivery method hit the sweet spot. I got it from him without having to go to a special web page or anything.
As an aside, can't your Sony reader handle .pdf files? I thought they could.
