This really hits the nail on the head, doesn't it? Particularly with eBooks, where a title or a cover doesn't necessarily grab you the same way that it would in a hard-print bookstore. Which is precisely why Kindle's policy of allowing limited time free offers on eBooks is a very good idea. It's kind of like a very short term library, allowing readers to browse before making a decision.
