Last poll I asked “How Do You Choose Which Book To Read Next”, and as usual, I’m in the minority and surprised by the results (below). I’m a sucker for ‘daily deal’ and ‘read next’ suggestions myself, but these options are geared more towards Kindle readers, which made me wonder . . .
There was a time I was a die hard paper book in hand kind of girl – the look, the feel, the smell – but times, they are a changing. There’s something about being able to bring hundreds of books with you, all in the palm of your hand. For this week’s poll, I’d like to know what book format you prefer:
The results of the last poll are as follows:
By word of mouth/publicity. 33.33%
By reading back covers/blurbs. 33.33%
By authors you’ve read before. 16.67%
By genre. 16.67%
By discounts/daily deals. 0%
By cover. 0%
By ‘read next’ suggestions. 0%

I bought the first Kindle available and was hooked on it for years, refusing to read paper at all. But…. I haven’t read with my Kindle in a few years. 100% of my (non-blog/non-new/etc) reading is with real paper, typically small, easy to read formats.

I never thought I’d defect from paperbacks, but I love being able to adjust the size of the print (and reading in the dark).
