Abstract
A system and method for generating an electronic publication (e.g., an e-book) sample having an end point designated in accordance with a set of heuristics. A start reading location is identified within the content of an electronic publication. A sample block is identified which includes a percentage of the content following the start reading location. A set of heuristics (e.g., rules) configured to identify an end point for the e-book sample is applied to a selected portion of the content within the sample block. The end point of the sample block is designated according to the set of heuristics and the electronic publication sample having the designated end point is stored.
