I've read some CB but it was a long time ago. Green for Danger is one of my favourite detective novels & the movie was excellent as well. I'm looking forward to reading more now that they're available as e-books.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-9644529416349202252012-08-04T13:23:07.748+10:002012-08-04T13:23:07.748+10:00Go on, you know you want to!

At least I don't have a lot of time to read the samples so I'm not spending money while they're just sitting there waiting for me to get to them.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-47818093424524396532012-08-03T11:31:34.177+10:002012-08-03T11:31:34.177+10:00Oh good!

My trouble is that I tend to download samples of books I'm almost guaranteed to like, then I have to buy them after reading the sample!lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-66032451814644772902012-08-03T08:41:23.213+10:002012-08-03T08:41:23.213+10:00No, I do not do this but only b/c I have never tho...No, I do not do this but only b/c I have never thought of it!! I just bought a Kindle Touch and need to stop downloading books from free sources and elsewhere. I will certainly have a look at the free sample chapters and can easily download them onto my netbook. Oh NO! another obsessive habit being born!! haha PamTravellin' Penguinhttp://travellinpenguin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-87987762304334268012012-08-03T03:01:34.941+10:002012-08-03T03:01:34.941+10:00You're not alone.

I love the download a sample chapter option and have far too many I haven't read--but part of the reason is that my buy to not buy ratio is about 1-3 so I end up reading the whole book pretty often. <br /> Susan EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-77848078498643182202012-08-03T02:56:18.556+10:002012-08-03T02:56:18.556+10:00No you are not the only one who does this, I go th...No you are not the only one who does this, I go through stages of downloading samples in the promise I will try them out because I have heard about them on a blog. Some how never get round to it and then get distracted by another book.<br /><br />I have to admit though it is a very good idea and I can always tell about a book in the first few pages whether it's for me or not. Not a guaranteed success but a cheap way of trying them out.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356433191383783293noreply@blogger.com
