I merged the 3 identical threads and moved them to the lounge. This topic doesn't really belong anywhere else.

I started but some of the questions required answers that followed on from the previous and wouldn't accept a "pass".
If I answer NO to both #4 & #5 - then HOW can I answer #6? |

I completed the survey, but it doesn't seem to take into account that many people read on devices that are neither iPhones nor dedicated ereaders. |

(I was able to complete the survey from the perspective of a PDA reader. Hopefully they're not looking at my results and saying, "PDuh--what?!?") However, the survey doesn't come close to providing any answers to questions about what is read ("books, newspapers, and magazines"). The info they'll get from this survey will be rather limited in scope and usefulness. Last edited by Steven Lyle Jordan; 05-21-2009 at 08:57 AM. |

It's a similar survey to a couple I've had from Fictionwise ... "have you an i-phone?" NO "will you read on your i-phone?" NO "tell us what you like about your i-phone" ....... 'I'm sorry, an answer is required here <====' |

Seriously, don't they teach how to avoid these kinds of things at statistics courses or something? Maybe they should. |
