I, and my extended family, are all probably more the demographics for this than the typical MobileRead forum member is. We have lots of books, but tend to buy in series and it takes a pretty big effort to get us into one.
The Amazon library has introduced me to two authors thus far, one of whom I would have never tried because of the price-barrier but will now purchase the rest of.
I don't view this as very different from the free book on the first of the series pricing Amazon does for much of Kindle.
On the other hand, if the price of the ebooks comes to a rational level - meaning, when a paperback costs $7, why should the ebook cost $7 or even $9; $3 would be more appropriate - I'd be more likely to buy on impulse anyhow.
