Nate, I gave a number (4) in the poll, but my habits are more like yours. I also agree that the poll is not scientific or likely to be accurate. But the point I was making is that most people do not rush out and buy 10 books, even with a new Sony Reader as a stimulant. People tend to buy 1 or 2 books at a time, read them, and then buy more. Of course, there are those like me who do buy regularly and in larger quantities and have more books waiting to be read than years left with which to read them, but that is not the book-buying norm. I simply do not find the book sales number disturbing. I do, however, find the sales number for the Reader itself encouraging.
