I'm considering one now, in fact, and will probably buy it, despite a steep price ($10). The main drawback is that the formatting looks a little wonky. But for fiction? There's just no incentive to even bother to read a sample.

Even if a friend recommended a work of fiction to you?
I'd think wasting money on an episode guide would be a lot worse. What show doesn't have some website run by fans that does that for free? No reason to buy an ebook for that.
