Offhand, does anyone know if the author controls the content of the "Look Inside" feature, or is it always just the first X pages?

It's generally the first 10% I believe, but there is actual information on the Amazon site.
And it's not just "trust Amazon"
But it's also true that you can't explicitly choose what it contains.
You do choose what is in the book description. Which is why I put the beginning of my Flash Fiction piece there the reason being that the first 10% was essentially blank due to the length. (It was just the title and first sentence or part of the first sentence..)
