I wish Connect had a facility to preview the first 10 pages of the book. I really wouldn't have bought "Next" if I had seen it first.

Total agreement about a better preview. When I am in a book store looking at a prospective new book from an unknown (to me at least) author, I usually skip to the first page or two, a quarter and the halfway point for an idea of the story and the author's writing style.
If the first two pages pass scrutiny, I look deeper into the book just to make sure that I'm happy with the style and storytelling further on, just to be sure the book didn't start off with a bang then fizzle out.
Kind of hard to do this with ebooks.
