After the offer debuted at Starbucks stores this week, customers reported that when they downloaded the book, they were given 330 out of 400 pages with the last page directing them to purchase the complete book.
"The 'Pick of the Week' card certainly does not say anywhere that it's just a sample. This is very disappointing..." wrote one customer on Starbucks' website.

Including the word "sample" on the card was probably cost prohibitive. I understand that Apple has the copyright on the letters "a-p-l-e" when they're all present in a single word.  |
I picked up the 'free' ebook card and then read about it being only a sample. I won't even start the book now. Glad I read about it only being a sample BEFORE I actually started to read the book.
