I used to use the sample method, but gads. It's a time suck. For whatever reason, I've switched to lendleme. I don't bother to sample, but I'll borrow the whole book. Yeah, I'm using up borrows, but that way if the "sample" beginning grabs me, I keep reading. If it doesn't, I ditch it. I didn't like sampling and then having to still figure out whether to buy or borrow. In some instances the sample wasn't long enough (meaning I was kind of undecided.) When I borrow a book, I'm good to go if it works. If not, I'm really not out much.

So I get that sampling doesn't work for everyone. I wasted a few afternoons just sampling and that can be nuts.
