For my own reference and some secret plans of my own that may or may not involve taking over the world...
How many of you are frequent book buyers? eBook or physical book?
I am talking here only about fiction books, so don't count textbooks, devotional books, or theological type things. Think fiction. You all know what that is
Note that this poll does include books you buy for others! It is the buying habits that count on this one.
Only check one option for print books and one for ebooks. So I would answer like this:
I buy 2-3 print books per year
I buy no ebooks per year
CLARIFICATION: Books that you have requested to have bought for you count, since you are more or less responsible for it being bought.
Free eBooks count, too, since what we are really talking about is the buying power, and that's taking part in the marketing, I suppose.
And you can change your votes if you need.
I voted 2-3. This year I've ended up with much more than that, but a large chunk of my new books were picked up for free from my Aunt. I bought two books as presents for my sister (both of which I will probably read eventually so I suppose that will count towards my total) and have already received four books as presents (three birthday and one early Christmas) with at least one more probably on the way, but again... under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be shelling out money for myself.
I used to buy many more in fiction, but over the past year, I haven't bought as many as I'm used to. (Turning into my Mum; preferring teaching books over fiction)
