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.
Like others, I'm probably thinking more Amazon-centric, where being able to buy and carry on reading as soon as you've finished the sample is built into the reader. I'd guess the others that tie you to a particular venue will be the same.
