Before everyone sharpens their pitchforks, just remember that sometimes the "legal" side of a company just plain doesn't understand new technology or social media. This was probably just the case of someone doing the job their supposed to do, and not even necessarily reflective of the company's stance on such copyright issues. Obviously book previews are great, and I've bought books purely because of reviews seen here. And I'm sure the company feels that way too, but this is just a case of "red tape" if you will getting in the way.
