			Does that include re-formatted books? I have a Nook but I buy some books from Amazon and convert them to ePub. So I checked ePub and mobi because I'm reading two books right now, one bought from B&N and the other from Amazon.

			Even if it was originally downloaded as a different format, ePub is the format in which I read. I've never created a poll, but I think this poll should have used radio buttons instead of check boxes. |

			I was reviewing one of the PDF books by Bookboon. They're apparently doing really well with their free-with-ads textbook model, which they started in Denmark.

			Actually, I'm happy for the checkboxes instead of the radio buttons.  I frequently read a fiction (typically ePub) and non-fiction (PDF or dead tree) concurrently.  And it just doesn't seem right to say one or the other when there may be a 2 hour gap between them.

 And by "love", I mean "dread". It's an UNUTTERABLY SILLY POLL, it's not supposed to be perfect, so can we dial back the nit-pickery? Please?   | |
