I'm an avid library borrower and purchase very few books; so, I've had it happen that I've gotten out a few books here and there that I've known from the first page I wouldn't be able to get into, wishing I'd taken the trouble to look through the book more closely.
It's pained me the couple of times I've bailed on an audiobook after spending an Audible credit ($11) for it.
To answer your question, as a rough guess I'd say I bail on perhaps 10% of the books I start, perhaps slightly more.
