For what it's worth, I think the chance to start reading it for free is really useful - I'm more likely to give a book a chance if I can start reading it for free, and if I like it there's no way I'm not going to pay to read the full thing.

I understand what you mean. Such direct contact is so different than the fiction writing, which involves locking yourself away with no contact to be had! But I'm getting used to it, and hearing from readers like you definitely makes it worthwhile.
Yeah, I'm finding one of the best and most revolutionary things about e-reading is having the ability to read a sample. Plus I can do it in my own home.
