You'll find that the people around MobileRead, by and large, will read anything with words on it. Pbook, ebook, back of the cereal box ... it doesn't matter; if it's got words, we'll read it. We're probably not a very good sample of the population as a whole.

I had to assume that by "how many did you read?" you meant books read from start to finish. If you include reference works that I read parts of as I needed (everything from computer books to history) that number would increase considerably, as would it if I included books I still haven't finished. I only considered books started and finished within the last 3 months.
I think most of us noticed that, and also noticed that this is a sixth grader, not a graduate student

Done, and kudos to both you and your son.

The only error I saw was that there's no option for 1 under How many paper books...over the last 90 days?

Just 0, then 2-n.

My son is working on his 6th grade science project and we need help collecting more survey responses from e-reading people. Most of his friends and ours still read paper books.

He is convinced that those who have e-readers read MORE, because its so easy to just download a new book.

If you have time, we would appreciate your help in gathering more e-readers for our survey.

Here is the link.

It is on surverymonkey.com... you can check out the website if you are worried to click on the link....

Can you please take a minute to help my son NOAH collect information for his 6th Grade Science Project. It is just 5 quick questions!! Also, can you post this to your profile to help us collect over 50 responses!!! He really needs the help!!

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N99S5FC

We will post results as we get them!!!
Done.

I don't think one needs to be a graduate student to know the difference between "barrow" and "borrow". And if nobody ever tells you, and you don't read very much, how are you ever going to find out?

Noahsmom, kudos for handling the negative comment beautifully! You are so right about the importance of being involved with your kids' education. It can also be said that most parent's don't want their 6th grade children interacting on adult forums. Responsible parents do what they need to do.

Done. As others have stated, I would love to see the results of his project. Do you think you might be posting a summary or anything else here?

I agree whole heatedly. I do NOT home-school my kids, but I do volunteer at their school. It is amazing how much of a difference a little interest and involvement from a willing adult can make in a child's educational career. Especially, if said child does not have the necessary support at home.

You'll find that the people around MobileRead, by and large, will read anything with words on it. Pbook, ebook, back of the cereal box ... it doesn't matter; if it's got words, we'll read it. We're probably not a very good sample of the population as a whole.

Does being a jerk come naturally to you? Or do you have to work at it?
