I suppose that reading a sample should be enough but I find that I (personally) can't slog my way through more than a couple of pages of a sample. I have tried downloading samples to my reader and then reading them. When I found one I liked, I also discovered that I wasn't able to immediately download the ebook and continue reading (most of the books I buy I buy at Smashwords). So I'd move on to another book and by the time I could buy and download the sampled book, I was no longer interested. Thus, I have stopped looking at samples. Either I download the book in whole or I move on. But this is my personal reading habit and not really a proper solution.
