Electronic book stores - part 2

jbcohen · 02-22-2011, 09:47 AM

Ok, this poll ended before I wanted to end, that's beucase I didn't use one of the settings properly. So I have restarted the poll.

What about Smashwords and multiple choices?

This poll has exactly the same faults as the other one. How do I indicate that I buy my books at Waterstones?

mr ploppy · 02-22-2011, 10:29 AM

Mostly Smashwords and Darkside Digital, but also sometimes Amazon. I also bought one from Lulu once but probably never will again.

AnemicOak · 02-22-2011, 10:56 AM

Poll needs to be multiple choice.

Lots of stores missing, but I buy mainly from Amazon, Wenscriptions, Kobo and directly from publishers.

Loosheesh · 02-22-2011, 11:28 AM

jbcohen, I shop at 6 of these stores but I can only choose one in your poll - you need to use check boxes instead of radio buttons

Pomtroll · 02-22-2011, 11:38 AM

Since I shop at multiple bookstores, I really can't answer this poll.

LaurieGator · 02-22-2011, 10:21 PM

I also shop at multiple stores since I have multiple e-readers...

Anthem · 02-23-2011, 11:55 AM

I purchase from more than one of those, and Fictionwise, which is not on your list.

yakuzaboss · 02-23-2011, 12:09 PM

Smashwords for me.

Filark · 02-23-2011, 04:09 PM

I voted, but really I shop at several of your choices. Also Books on Board.

I buy most of my books from Amazon, but I occasionally buy from Smashwords and Fictionwise too.

Clancy_s · 02-23-2011, 07:43 PM

I voted webscriptions because that's the one I use most, but also Amazon, Borders, Baen and a couple of Aus only sites.

For me you needed a multichoice poll for it to reflect my habits.

snipenekkid · 02-23-2011, 08:25 PM

really why vote, it is not a valid poll and will give no meaningful results. Now if it was worded what is your PREFERED/MOST USED store then maybe the single selection works. But as I buy and download from multiple stores it simply does not apply to me, and i suspect almost all others save for a few Kindle or B&N users. And even those likely use other stores as well.

It would be an interesting poll if there were the same options and a few more along with a checkbox for "I use multiple stores as checked above" and a "I only buy from one store" to see not only the most used store but also a bit of a look at the numbers of single source buyers vs. multiple source buyers.
