Maybe all the above can help, but i think only up to a point. I am disappointed in many people reading just previews, giving a nice comment and a thumbs up, but not buying anything. Unfortunately, it happens too often, and for the life of me, i cannot understand why. If they were genuinely interested in the preview, what stopped them from actually buying the book if it was offered at an affordable price? With the pdf format available, the price is even lower. A Starbucks coffee often costs more. Furthermore, most writers and authors i know, are avid readers themselves, so why the lack of interest? I am especially sensitive to first time authors like myself, so they are on the top of my priority list. I try to buy and read as many of their books as i possibly can. Even i don't end up falling in love with a book, most of the times i will find at least one thing i like about it, therefore it was time well spent.
