I tend to vertically regress on a pBook. Being able to set the text size on the eBook has helped significantly reduce this and increase my reading speed.

And 24 partipants is ridiculous. It becomes about the individuals participating at this sample size because by the time we iterate all the possible demographics there would be at least 24 demographics in and of themselves, even if you only take age, nationality and gender into account.

Certainly, a sample size of thousands would be more accurate, but I think they could get away with a somewhat accurate study in the hundreds.
