I think I remember seeing banners on the Sony ebook store saying something like "Advanced samples coming soon". But I don't see any of those banners now. Currently, the excerpts are rather short and are available online only--no downloads.
Sometimes I download the sample from B&N or Amazon if I'm on the fence about a particular book. Their samples are lengthy, sometimes several chapters.
I'd definitely recommend buying from Best Buy because they don't charge a restocking fee for returning the reader if you decide you don't like it. Plus you get 30 days.
Sony Style stores charge a 15% restocking fee and are only 14 days for returns, if I remember correctly. Yet if you order from Sony's online store there isn't a restocking fee. Makes no sense.
That's how things work at the stores in my area, you might double-check yours.
