A funny thing happened on the way to my twentieth poll about e-book adoption…
I was an e-book early adopter. I recently received reader feedback that I should brag more about my early predictions regarding the rise of e-books. I then adopted E. Book as my middle name (not really).
And yet for the first time since the introduction of the iPad, I read more print books than e-books in the past year. I have to change my vote in this poll!!
Call it screen fatigue, call it nostalgia, call it finally getting reading glasses that make it easier to read print, but I’m as shocked as you are.
(Also: HOW IS THIS THE TWENTIETH YEAR OF THIS POLL. No wonder I need reading glasses…)
In any event, time for the poll!
Will you ever buy mostly e-books? Do you already? Are you a paper dead-ender?
My usual caveats to pre-empt the inevitable comments:
- Yes, I know this isn’t a scientific poll.
- Yes, I am aware it’s even less scientific to compare very different audiences and sample sizes through time.
- Yes, I know that you want more poll options because one of these doesn’t precisely capture all of the nuances of your e-book and print book tendencies. Choose the one that’s closest!
Poll below! If you’re reading in a feed reader, you’ll need to click here to see it.
I’ll be back next week with the results.
