If someone was going to read 75% of a book as a sample, it would have to be very, very good, and as such, who would want to miss the last 25%, even if you'd have to pay for it?

I normally just read a couple of pages, before I know I'd want the book...
Yes, writing styles vary so much (likewise readers' tastes) that I usually only need to read the first couple of pages to know whether I'll like it or not.

No sample – no sale.
