READERS – This survey needs YOU 😀
Readers are always in demand. 🙂 Thank you.
I know 😀 😀 😀
Didn’t need a survey for that. 🙂
😀 😀 😀
Great survey, Chris! Thanks for setting this up. I will be very interested in the results. I had a problem answering 2 questions because what I read is not determined by format, but rather by whatever way I can get my hands on the books I want to read. So, for #4, I answered “less than half the time” for hardcover, paper and eBook, meaning that my reading is divided equally among the three. And I didn’t answer #5 at all, because as I said above, I will read in whatever format I can get the book. This also includes borrowing a hefty number of eBooks from the library (always ePub). I’ll share this post to spread the word.
Thank you. It’s turned out to be quite challenging to think of all the possible answers that may be helpful (which also makes the survey longer). Thank you for using the comments to clarify. The comments section is the one feature flexible enough for the survey. 🙂
I’m interested to see how the updated questions’ results turn out… and, despite my derpiness of not thinking of just ignoring the kids question last time around, thanks for adding a “I don’t have kids” option. XD
That was a popular request. 🙂
Interesting survey. I have presently decided I have an interesting in self-publishing so I think this survey will be a very fruitful source of information. I only read hard cover because screens give me headaches, and the smell of paperbacks make me ill.
Thank you for taking time to explain your answers. That’s very useful. 🙂
Regarding #6 — Where do you buy ebooks? I didn’t respond to that one because I buy my ebooks at Smashwords, which was not listed. No “Other source” choice either. Otherwise, an interesting survey.
Thank you for the feedback. Those would be good options to add to that question. 🙂
Nice work – amazing to see that over half of your audience hasn’t signed on to Kindle Unlimited.
Thank you. 🙂 With the original, most read 5+ books per month, yet weren’t in Kindle Unlimited. Maybe the new question will shed some light on that.
Hi Chris,
Shared with all of my social networks requesting people to provide answers to the survey questions. Hope that helps! Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler, Stumble Upon, LinkedIn and Google + Public as well as circles and extended circles. 🙂
Wow, thank you, Patrick. That helps a lot. 🙂
Great study so whatever I can do!!

I find it interesting to watch how the results come out. 🙂
Indeed. 😀
