iPad is not a dedicated e-reader

Good point. I had also put it in the non-dedicated devices, so I'll remove it from the first list. Thanks.

Any other opinions before I go to surveymonkey, (or somewhere similar.)?

Under the 'which e-reader features are important to you' question you might want to add 'dictionary support' as an option - I'm amazed how many people base their choice of reader on what dictionaries are available.

Is this survey for UK-only, Europe, Worldwide?? Only ask 'cos there are quite a few more devices available than you have on your list.

Cheers, Pete

You might like to put specific boxes in, otherwise the user might put 8 just to piss you off

@ Peter: Since this will be going on the web it will be available to the whole world which is why I put the "other" option, along with a "state device" option, so I can get a more complete list.

@forquare: I will add the number of days option...

Thanks again everyone. I'll put a link up once the survey is complete.

OK, update time... I've got the survey online... The more people who can fill it in the better so without further ado, here's the link: THE LINK!

Thanks in advance everyone.

"No personal information will be collected."
Question 1 : what is your name?


If you ask for it, you're collecting it. And your survey really should be anonymous anyway - a person's name has no bearing on the data you're actually interested in.

And as a minor point, you should have 'already have one' as an option for question 10, otherwise you can't answer that question correctly if you DO already have one.

However, I filled it in anyway...

Question 1: Fair point, but I had wondered whether you guys would use your x404 usernames... In hindsight I might have been better putting in gender instead of name.
Question 10: I haven't looked at the results yet, but I'd assume that people can select other and type already have one...

Thanks again, and also thanks to anyone else who has completed the survey.

A few of the questions were forced upon me as a non-reader owner, so for the wordy one I just put N/A but (iThink it was 6 and 8) I had to fill all the options.

*bump*

Thanks to all who have filled in the survey... it seems that unforcing the qaestions might lose my existing data, but if anyone else would like to fill it in... please?

Hi all,

OK, I've got a bit of a mini-crisis going on... I did manage to find some good statistics, regarding the number of books and ebooks sold over the last 10 years, and have a graph, (somewhere on my PC at home) but... I have lost the document with the URL, and I'm damned if I can find it again!

I wouldn't normally ask, but as I'm off to a meeting now, and don't know when I'll be getting home, is there any chance that some kind soul here could have a quick look, and post any URLs for me to review this evening?

I'm not trying to con anyone into doing the work for me, just save a bit of time...

Thanks a million!

Done
