I am much, MUCH likelier to buy a book if I can read a representative sample of its contents. If the Kindle sample includes only a preface or foreword, with
none of the main content... well, I may seek out a copy in a library or bookshop to confirm whether I want to buy it in ebook format, if I have some other reason to feel motivated. Mostly, though, I'll just scratch it off my list.
