Well, that depends on the book, doesn't it? If it's something I really want to read and don't want to wait for, then I'd happily pay that price - and have paid more than that, actually. But with Geo Restrictions, that choice is taken away from me; I can't buy the ebook, no matter how much I'm prepared to pay.

The trouble is that these decisions don't translate well into a simple response in a poll. As an example, I couldn't answer your second question regarding DRM as I felt there wasn't an option that reflected how I felt on the subject - I'm generally not bothered about DRM schemes and certainly wouldn't insist on device-independent DRM, but I wouldn't buy regardless of the DRM applied either, as it has to be appropriate to the devices I own.

Just out of interest, what kind of numbers of responses were you getting? Just curious...

Thanks, Peter
