Looking at your bookstore, I feel that the data there is very sparse, probably not enough for an unfamiliar book to grab me. I see that I could read a sample, but I need to be somewhat engaged before I will do that. Have you considered making the descriptions richer?
It certainly looks promising!

Hi Liz,
Finding books in a large collection/library - Even though we do not display all meta information immediately to the user. Your able to browse books by author, tags and categories. When the reader searches their library all related meta data gets searched. However, we do have plans to redo the interface to make filtering and organizing via metadata easier. I will be sure to reach out to you for feedback once the mocks are ready.
Books on Store - For the books that have been uploaded by publishers or self-published authors they specify the book description and determine when to enable sampling. However we do plan to enhance this by displaying related highlights and comments from other readers that have already read the book.
Best.
Dwayne
