Just spotted this interesting article by Tucker Max on the criteria bookstore browsers use before they decide to pick up/ read an online sample and then buy a book.
Having thought about it, I would probably agree but add in the extra factor of awareness of previous work by the same author. How about you? What makes you decide to pick up a book?
