One of my co-workers has a "master plan" for me. This involves me learning about photography so when he retires, I could have a good shot at getting his job. So I see Scott Kelby's The Digital Photograhy Book in Kindle format. Its $9.99 and fantastic reviews so I get a sample. The frigging sample is his thanks, his bio and the table of content! Thanks for nothing Amazon!

I forget what book it was that I was sampling but it did get as far as the acknowledgements and that was it...

I remember reading somewhere in one of the other threads that...

Samples are set as a percentage of the total number of pages the book has. I'll not sure on the exact percentage but it's something like 5% or 10%. If it's a shorter book you may not get anything in the sample. I think that percentage can be upped. I don't know if it's something that Amazon, the publisher or the author is responsible for.

I just remembered what sample it was....The Monster of Florence. All I read was the list of characters and that was it. By the end of it, I was just as confused as when I started and still had not read any bit of the book itself. I know it's a decent sized book, I can only imagine how many pages of characters there are to go through in the DTV.
