How Do You Read Your eBooks?

by Martin Neumann on March 1, 2006

When I first started thinking about setting up ePublishingDaily.com - during the silly season - I went through the whole research phase that every startup goes through.

I outlayed some hard-earned money (not everything’s for free on the Web) to conduct various surveys and focus groups on the eBook industry to help me get a clear picture.

One of the questions was: How do you Read your eBooks?

Computer Monitor: 63%
Laptop: 19%
PDA: 8%
TabletPC: 7%
eBook reader: 3%

The survey size was 496.

A few thoughts:
I was surprised by the low number of eBooks read on PDAs.

What didn’t surprise me was that the vast majority read their eBooks on their computers.

I wonder with all these new eBook readers being released this year what the results will show in 12 months time?
