Chapters for Sale

Random House is going to start selling select chapters of popular books to determine potential sales. The first book is going to be “Make It Stick” which was released on January 2nd, 2008. They are going to sell each chapter for $2.99 which also includes the epilogue.

My first thought is that this would be a good alternative to driving down to the book store to thumb through a book to determine if I want to buy it.   I would have to deal with traffic, parking, fuel cost… The question is will readers pay $2.99?
