I'm willing to pay a fair price for a book, especially if I like it. But, Authors I know and love aside I will not pay for a book without a sample. If I go to the bookstore, I can carry books around, flick through them, read a few chapters, the blurb, etc. I'm not asked to pay more for the book simply because I do this. I see no reason to.
