I skimmed, read snippets, and that helped me choose what to read.

Now we get excerpts and samples to download. Somehow it’s not quite the same, but I still love reading something from the book before buying. And I’ve certainly decided just from the sample that I’m not interested.

What about you? Do you make buying decisions on excerpts? Do you need one before you buy? Please vote in the poll and feel free to add a comment if you want to discuss your experiences–or disappointments.
