It can be nice to open up a book and flip through the pages to get a quick look at it. By contrast, book-previews on sites like Amazon.com can be obnoxious with blocked content and inconsistent behavior. I think I'd have a dimmer view of the transition to digital media if it were to remain exactly as it is today. But I tend to think of it as an evolving thing; I'd expect features like book-previews to significantly improve over time.
