They have one implementation feature that warms the cockles of my conversion-optimizing heart, right at the end: "Enjoyed the sample? [Buy Now] or [See details for this book in the Kindle Store]" Not only is it one click ordering, I'm 99% sure that they're A/B testing that call to action.)
My only gripe is that if you buy the book, it starts back on the first page, which is a pain because you're an arbitrary length in the story and getting back to where you were using Kindle navigation leaves something to be desired.
