You know, it's actually super straightforward if you know where to look, but Amazon doesn't always make it obvious. I just do this on the desktop site—go to the Kindle book's main page, right under the cover and the 'Buy now' button. There's usually a little text link that says 'Read sample' or 'Send a sample to my Kindle.' Clicking that opens their cloud reader right in your browser. It'll dump you into the first few chapters.
I like checking the sample length before I click, though. Some samples are generous, like 5 or 6 chapters if the book is short, others might just be the intro. It's tied to the 'Look Inside' feature for print books. If you're logged into your Amazon account, it remembers your spot if you come back later. Honestly, I've bought way more books because of this than I probably should have—that 'just one more chapter' hook is real.

Isn't the whole point of samples to decide before you buy? I get annoyed when the sample is just the publisher's foreword and table of contents. What am I supposed to judge from that? I want to see the actual prose, the dialogue, how chapter one ends.
A workaround I've used: some authors publish the first chapter for free on their websites or blogs, especially if they're indie. It's worth a quick Google of 'author name + book title + excerpt'. Sometimes those excerpts are even longer than the official Amazon sample. I found a fantastic fantasy series that way—the Amazon sample was stingy, but the author had three whole chapters up on their site. Sold me immediately.

Just click the cover image on the desktop product page. A larger viewer pops up with 'First pages' selected. You can flip through them right there. No download needed, no app required. It's the fastest way if you just want a quick taste of the writing style and layout. Saves time compared to sending a sample to a device.

The mobile app works too, but the flow is slightly different. You don't get the full 'Look Inside' in the app itself; you tap the cover image on the product page, and it often gives you a preview option. I find it less reliable than the desktop site, sometimes it just shows the cover and blurbs.
For a surefire method, I search the book title directly in the Kindle app's store section. If a 'Free Sample' button is available, it's right there next to the price. Downloading it adds a sample 'book' to your library that expires after a while. It's perfect for offline reading during a commute to see if the writing style clicks before committing cash.
