Received this from Amazon today.
Hello,
We?re excited to share that Amazon will test allowing customers to read a sample of your eBook pre-order starting the week of April 14. This feature will work exactly like the ?Read Sample? feature that displays for books on Amazon today. It?ll show a preview, up to 10% from your current manuscript?s content to engage potential readers.
If you?ve already submitted your manuscript, Amazon will automatically generate the reading sample. If no manuscript is currently uploaded, then no reading sample will be shown.
I'm hoping this will be a good thing.
Having just released a book 1 in a new series with a new main character, the Pre-Orders were well down.
With luck, having a pre-order sample there for that last week might just encourage more pre-orders at the last minute, because people get hooked on the actual beginning of the story, instead of just trying to gauge by the blurb and cover.
I'm hoping, anyway.
