Completely unfamiliar? Pretty much zero. I'd rather re-read one of my old favorites than pay for a total unknown. Or I'll check out an unknown from the library (overdrive system). On the basis of a good independent review, maybe I'd spend 99 cents. Provide some free sample chapters, not just a short intro, but at least 15 to 20% of the book and if I like it I could see spending $4 or so. For a second book from an author I've read, maybe up to $8, but I'd be happier spending $6.
