In days of olde, I browsed the shelves at my local book pushers
and opened and read a few paragraphs.
Amazon has 'Look inside'.
One of the things I tend to do with books I buy, is remove the 'content' of the Sample Chapter. Those have tripped me up since print days... 'Oh! I have read this book', when in fact NOT. I really hate major cover changes (same book, more 'modern' cover) I had to use my Flatbed scanner when I documented my paperback collection in Calibre as the metadata download had the
wrong cover.
