I already answered, but I'm itching to just fill in responses for some reason. so here it is:

3. I am am spending somewhat more on books. Not lately, but I have spent more on fiction ebooks than I ever did on fiction pbooks
4. I am reading a lot more back list and out of copyright books Not really.
5. I am far far more engaged in reading...spending time most every day chatting about it on the internet. Reading has always been such a huge part of my life, I don't think that's changed. It's mot a case of not having to put something to hold open the book.
6. I watch less Tv and read more Nope, not this either.
7. I read pretty much the same types of books I always have Not at all. I'm reading a much larger variety of books.
8. I have become far more organized about my reading, keeping track of authors and series and "what to read next" than I ever have Not because of my ereader. I just keep track of book review requests.
9. Publishers have nothing to fear from the effects of ebooks if I'm a normal example I read mainly indie books
10. I'm more likely to read a book from a new author than ever before thanks to free ebooks easily available Most definitely.
11. But I still pretty much read books from authors I know I like Sometimes, not as much as before
12. I go to book stores a lot less I never went to bookstores all that much, but now we don't even have a book store that I can think of.
13. I go to the library less, but would engage them more once they get their ebook act together This is true, sadly.
14. I buy ebooks with or without DRM, but will choose DRM that has been cracked over DRM that has not I don't know the difference. I don't pay as much attention to DRM as I could, but most of my reading material is without.
15. I value ebooks higher than physical books because I FAR prefer to read ebooks Nope. To me a book is a book and I value a book of any sort.
16. I am as willing to pay for an ebook as I was a paper book Hmm. I supposed that is true, but I never bought many books before, unless nonfiction, reference-types of books.
