That is exactly what I mean, The poll indicates people basically buy based on the e-reader characteristics and what electronic format it supports. If we buy based on the kind of books we like and how big the collection could be for that device, we should not face any kind of problem when getting a new title.

On the other hand, if people buy based on the format and device, it could happen later that the books you like are not available for your particular e-reader, of maybe more expensive. This is one of the reason why I sold my Nook 1st generation: ok device and Kindle 3 did not exist at that time, but I got tired of not finding my IT books on B&N or any other store different than Amazon. In practical terms, the ePUb format for me was useless.
