Is there a sample chapter or section available. I normally like to see how an ebook containing math looks like on the different devices before buying.

See the other comments. If the result pleases Knuth, it probably is good enough for you, too.

      For context:
      Knuth created TeX.

Did Knuth read it on a 7-inch screen, or is the font going to be uncomfortably tiny without a lot of zooming and panning?

That's the postscript version of an unmaintained version. You can probably convert it to pdf and it ought to be similar (sans links, errata fixes and other changes) to the purchasable version with respect to the math layout.

To late to edit, picked up the ebook, compared it to the linked document, pretty much the same if you want to see how the typesetting looks. The ebook version is a pdf of the book with hyperlinks connecting a number of text locations making it easy to go from code to description to whatever else.
