I get that paying for the MEAP will eventually get you access to all of the chapters, but it seems a little steep at this point. I'd a lot more willing to pay, say, $10 for access to only the first three chapters, and then pay more if I get hooked. I'm guessing that isn't possible.
It also stung a bit that the link said 'Click To See the First Few Chapters' when in fact you click to see the first chapter and pay for the rest.
