For those avid readers out there.
Just came across this site, don't know much about it as I'm not an avid reader, but the underlying concept appears quite a good one.
Basically you can download / view / read the first chapter of a book with no commitment to buy so that you can make your mind up as to whether you want to buy the book or not. Not sure of how extensive their current list is. But for those that don't use libraries (where of course you can read the whole book for free!) it may save a bit of money on buying a rubbish book!

I read a book a week, and I often feel I have to finish a book, even if its really not grabbing me (when you pay £6+ for a book it feels such a waste to not finish it) so this service will be brilliant. Thanks!Me transmitte sursum, caledoni0
