I do the same. I've skipped any number of books because of poorly written samples. Even worse, if I download the sample and it's nothing more than the front matter, advertisements from the publisher and so on, I'll delete it without a second thought. If they're going to bother making a sample, at least make it a real sample of the book.
Back on topic: I think the only thing that might eventually get me to upgrade is a much (and I do mean much) better screen for the same price. I'll probably even wait for decent quality color screens before I move on from my Kindle 1.0.
I likely won't be switching for years.
