#1 nope
#2 nope #3 nope #4 duh, I'm here, aren't I? LOL #5 nope, but working on it (hubby has masters, though) #6 almost smack dab in the middle of that one. #7 nope, I'm an innie, not an outie I guess I don't count though, since I don't actually own a dedicated device and only read on my computer. |

Unfortunately, Australia is way behind (as usual).. None of the large computer/electronic stores knows about such a device as an e-reader... I recently went to a small privately run computer store, and he just had this uncomprehending look on his face... Maybe I should have said 'kindle' instead of e-reader.. although I doubt that would have made any difference... |

I'd just like to take this time to apologize to everyone for bringing down the average.

I'm really not quite sure why folks on this forum take so personally what the data in that study suggest. Those numbers seem perfectly realistic to me, even if I don't fit in every category neatly. In fact, it's a little boggling that anyone would expect membership here to be representative of the ebook device market on the whole. Reasons for buying electronic devices can be quite different from those for joining backpatting support communities.

I think the idea is that if the "average" is, say $100, and you have $150, then you are 50% above average. If, however you have $250 you have 150% more than normal.
And I really dislike they way they've done the stats; why couldn't they have given the percentages for ebook reading population as absolutes, and if they really had to, as a separate comparison, those for the rest of the population. Oh, that's it. It wouldn't have made as nice a headline as 199%. |
