Sample Chapter
I'm really enjoying (my wife's) new Kindle 2 and (being overly careful and cheap) am collecting a lot of free sample chapters from Amazon as I explore books I may be interested in.
Is this feature unique to the Kindle world or do other e-bookstores do something similar?
I'm finding that it complements well Google Book's "limited preview" that lets you look at significantly long excerpts from many books (but only on a computer). This also makes me wonder if Google Editions will make "limited preview" available on e-books when it comes out.
What do other people think about the usefulness and ubiquity of free previews?
