Done! Being a teacher I know how hard it is for kids to get a good perspective of things when hosting a survey. What a great idea to have us help out.

Thank you all for your support!! Noah has canvased the local library and bookstore for surveys from people coming out of them!! So far he is realizing that people who read.... read all formats!! So people who use e-readers also tend to read paper books as well!! So the idea of paper books going away is not even close.

As for the "A barrow is an ancient tomb. To borrow is to obtain a temporary loan. I think Noah (or NOAH, as you put it) might want to know the difference." Noah thinks you are cool for noticing the typo!! Since is also a history buff, he thought it was funny typo.

As for the comment on "Parent's doing their kids homework... um, I have four children, home schooled them all off and on throughout the years... being involved in your child's education is fun and exciting and if more parents were involved I believe our kids would be better educated. Noah has to compile the information, write a research paper and then setup a display. I think mom can enlist a few people to fill out the little survey for him.

Again, thank you all for your support!! I will post results at the end of next week for those interested in them!!

We will post results as we get them!!!

The number range for 'books read' could have been higher. I checked "9+", but over the past 90 days I've actually read about 55 books...

Make sure he mentions in his report that the results should be treated with great caution because of sample selection bias. (i.e. the responses are from a self-selected group, not from a properly random selection of the population as a whole.)

Done. I look forward to seeing the results.
