That is true of 20 or 21 of my 26 books. I upload a Sigil-built epub with no SRL ("text") called for. It doesn't always work, but it does most of the time, for me.
Would that be the Look Inside feature? I have to say, almost invariably when I go to buy a book on Amazon, I don't bother ever looking inside. Except for cookbooks, if I want to get an idea of whether the recipes are simple, complicated or call for oddball ingredients.

So usually what I see of a fiction book before buying, is a cover.
