That’s the title of an article in MyNortwest.

Starbucks expanded their free “Pick of the Week” iTunes offerings this week, putting up their first ebook, Erin Morgenstern’s “The Night Circus.”

Only it appears some didn’t read the fine print of the offer.

“Starbucks is featuring an extended sample of the book The Night Circus from Erin Morgenstern,” said a blog post about the promotion at Starbucks’ website.

After the offer debuted at Starbucks stores this week, customers reported that when they downloaded the book, they were given 330 out of 400 pages with the last page directing them to purchase the complete book.

“The ‘Pick of the Week’ card certainly does not say anywhere that it’s just a sample. This is very disappointing…” wrote one customer on Starbucks’ website.
