I think Macmillian is hanging out in the stupid department too much. Pay for access to samples? Really? Insane.
I recall getting questions 22. & 23. (I think) that wanted to know how much of a one-time fee would I be willing to pay for access to samples and then another question, and get this, would I be willing to pay more for a 1/2 book (50%) sample. I originally answered a sample could be 25% of the book. Sheesh, talk about maximizing your revenue stream. A sample is a (free) sample and not additional revenue!!!! Greed, greed, greed...

You give me samples, I am more likely to get the book (assuming it is good.) Samples in an of themselves have very little value.
Ya, and if they offered to double the size of the "sample" in exchange for more cash, would it just not revolt you altogether and make you find another reseller...
