For publishers and authors, sample chapters are a great way to market books and get new readers to take a chance. If you like the sample chapter, you’ve got a great better reason to buy the book. Welcome to our new feature, “Sample Chapter of the Week.” In this new eBookNewser feature, we will highlight one sample chapter that we read and think you should too.

This week’s “Sample Chapter of the Week,” is America by Heart by Sarah Palin. Are you curious about how a woman who is famous for bad grammar writes (not that she actually did the writing), but don’t want to be caught dead actually buying the book? A sample chapter is the perfect way to get inside the Palin mindset without having to spend the money or be seen paging through it at a bookstore.

Here is an excerpt: “Call it corny, but Mr. Smith Goes To Washington is one of my favorite movies. It’s a movie about hope. It’s a movie about good triumphing over evil and idealism defeating cynicism. Most of all, it’s a movie about the timeless truths of America handed down to us from our forefathers and foremothers.”

There is a new eBook about politician/reality TV star Sarah Palin available in Amazon’s Kindle Single format. This is the first title that we have seen to use this short form release mode, since Amazon announced it back in October.

The book is called The SARAH PALIN Rogue Revolution Taking AMERICA BY STORM and was written by journalist Tony Reynolds. It delves into whether or not Palin will run for president in 2012. According to the product’s description, the book is formatted as a Kindle Single, though it is not listed in any special Kindle Single category in the Kindle store.

Borrowing from music released as a “single” song, versus an album, these new books, are categorized as between 10,000 and 30,000 words –or about 30-90 pages. Amazon said that these Kindle Singles will have their own section in the Kindle Store, but we have yet to see this categorization in the Kindle store.

Kindle Singles are also supposed to come with a cheaper price tag, and this Sarah Palin book is $3.99, which is cheaper than a typical $9.99 Kindle eBook from a major publisher.
