How many e-books do readers purchase?
Over at Palm247, Shaun McGill asks his readers How many eBooks have you purchased?

While the question is certainly biased toward those Palm users who read e-books (the ones that read e-books and especially who buy them are most likely to reply with comments), it still is interesting in several ways:

1) So far, for number of e-books purchased, there are 6 with <100, 4 with <300, one with about 700 and another with more than a thousand. (Wow!)

2) Only one person said they read free e-books and didn't buy e-books.

3) There were several mentions of people who just prefer paper.

The big winners for the massive e-book purchases in this small sample of Palm users? Fictionwise/eReader, Baen and MobiPocket.
