The Problem With Reading Book Samples



Hello, it is Sarah, back with another blog post. Today's post is about the problems with reading book samples, inspired by two book samples on Amazon: one has all 400 pages of the book, and the other one skips almost every page. Plus the book that can't tell you the second chapter, but can tell you the very last one, the ending. I hate you, Amazon.

3. When they stop the preview before the book gets good.

2.When they include the ending.



1. WHEN THEY INCLUDE THE WHOLE BOOK AS A SAMPLE.

Picture this: you're reading a sample for a book you want to buy. Five pages, and it isn't over. So you keep reading. Ten pages, and it isn't over. Fifty pages, and it isn't over. So you keep reading. You read to the very end of the preview and finish the book. You no longer need or want to buy the book. Amazon just lost a sale. Not only that, but the author lost a sale because of Amazon's stupidity.
Do you see the problem here?
