New Reader Survey

New Reader Survey

Or, Answers To Common Questions About Reading Habits

 

The Ebook Formatting Fairies recently conducted a survey about reading habits. Some of the more interesting results were:

  • Readers prefer ebooks to paperbacks.
  • Most readers purchase their books from Amazon.
  • Readers find new authors on Facebook.
  • Most readers don’t look at the bestseller lists to find books to read.

 

What do you think about these results? Do they represent you as a reader?
