For favourite authors or strong recommendations from friends I will buy without a preview. However new authors that look interesting I will either preview, borrow from the library, or read enough to know if I want to buy from a pbook in a shop.
I reread my favourite books - so even books that I borrow from the library I will purchase if I enjoyed them enough to want to reread.
Unfortunately I read more than I can afford to purchase - which is why I borrow a lot of books to read and then reread them if they were good enough!
