Here is an idea for self-publishers.
Offer the book for $1 a download, and if reader likes it (= finishes it), then at the end a short statement about paying an additional few bucks. I would gladly pay an extra $4 ex post if I finish the book. If a reader don't like the book she is $1 short, but could be offered the opportunity to move her copy to the book stores section for free downloads and perhaps receive a $0.10 credit towards a future download.
That would give the author some feedback on how many people actually finish the book, how many who prefer to return it, and some other reader gets to download a pre-paid book.
Maybe I'm gullible, but I think a lot of people would be happy to honor a system like that.
