I'm thinking of doing a style survey

I'm thinking about doing a survey with e.g. Survey Monkey which will allow people to say what kind of style they prefer when reading an ebook on an ebook reader. Before I do that I want to get some idea of what questions people would like to see on the survey. And of course I'd like to know if anyone else has done a similar survey - if someone has please let me know.

The questions I've thought of so far include:

- Do you like to choose styles for yourself, or are you happy with whatever the publisher decides?
- Do you prefer serif or sans-serif fonts?
- I might give people a range of fonts and ask them to choose their preferred font - eg Bitstream Vera Sans, Georgia, Goudita Sans, Times New Roman, Verdana - any others?
- Do you prefer justified or left aligned text?
- Do you prefer paragraphs separated by white space, or marked by an indent, or both?
- Do you prefer white space between lines of text?
- Do you prefer side margins about the width of the hyphen on this line, or margins the width of the space between the left edge of the text and the D?

Are there any other questions I should include?

Regards, Alex
