Never read Baen in my life, nor bought from them.
I never read any genre book because x, y, z publisher.
I don't think medium (ebook or pbook) here is important. The poll is regarding what genre you read, not what genre you read on your e-reader. |
Indeed. And I heartily agree with you about the poll. However, my comment about Baen was in response to
Catlady's comment saying "It feels like a majority of people here are heavy readers of those genres." And I interpreted "here" to mean at MobileRead, and thus to mean "people who use/like eReaders". So the people "here" have very likely been exposed to Baen.
The likely causality is that lovers of SF/F first discovered eBooks through Baen and thus became fans of electronic readers. I wouldn't expect someone who didn't like SF/F to suddenly start reading it just because Baen offered eBooks.
