Hi, ranma. I downloaded a sample from Barnes & Noble of the Norton, W.W. & Company (April 1999) version. It was 28 pages and ended in the middle of the prologue. It was all text from that short sample. My guess is that this book is best enjoyed in its paperback version. By the way, B&N samples are DRM-free. If you have a B&N account, then you can add the sample to your B&N library. You just download it from their website to your computer and then transfer it to your Sony ereader. It's a neat workaround to get samples since the Sony store doesn't offer them. Hope that helps!
