I was hoping to be able to put a few on my Kobo. Seems kind of ridiculous that this can't be done, as the previews are an essential part of the book-buying process. When I buy a paper book, I open it up and read the first few pages to see if I'll like it. If a book is sealed in plastic so I can't see it, I usually won't buy it because I don't know what I'm getting. Same with ebooks.
ya i think we're stuck with previews on the phone / pc through the app and online at the actual story as well through the my library option.
