Actually, as long as I get a full length novel for $10.00 or less, I pretty much assess all books on the basis of how much I find the premise interesting and whether the sample was good.
If my spidey senses get all tingly telling me of the quality of the book beyond the sample, it's very hard not to purchase it. But that also depends on whether it's available in the library or not. If it's not, and I'm in the mood for the book, there's an 80% and upwards chance of me purchasing the book so long as it's less than 10 bucks.
I don't ever buy books before reading the sample, and there's a lot of samples I keep on a separate Kindle Collection where I hem and haw over them if they're really worth that price. Those are the ones priced over $10. They sit in that collection for months and eventually I delete them if they sit there too long.
