The quiz lost all its numbering and letters, so it’s pretty hard to follow–probably would have been better to just put the right answer after each question.

(When you want to remember who Henry was, for example, you can search “Henry wedding” which will bring up all the passages which mention Henry and a wedding. Since I review books using e-galleys, this is how I “go back” to find places in the book that I didn’t highlight. It works really well.)

If you have a Nook or some other e-reader, I can’t help you, but I imagine they have some sort of search function that will work the same way.

Also, with the Kindle I can make a note at the end of the chapter with what the chapter had in it which helps me keep plotlines straight. The notes come up in a group, so it’s almost like reading an outline.

Hope all of this helps!

Carrie:The only one I wavered on answering was who read more, those with ereaders or those without. I decided to go with those who own ereaders mainly because the choice to own an ereader in and of itself shows a dedication to reading.

This was my thinking too. If you own an e-reader, you are probably a pretty serious reader.

What did surprise me was the low number of people who read e-books. 11% is a relatively small piece of the market. I expected it to be bigger, probably because I know so many readers

Do we get gold stars?

I agree completely with Carrie: the most annoying thing with ereading is that you can’t flick back to check some passage. I want to do that so often.

(And the most annoying thing about ebuying is there’s no virtual equivalent to a good bookshop. I live in hope…)

My main reason for preferring paper is the ability to quickly go back and skim passages to in the book, like when I realize I’ve missed something important. I also like to be able to go back and read favorite sections of books, or open and skim through some of my favorite reads, or to do a quick scan of a previous book in a series to “catch up” on the particulars of the backstory. I find ereaders frustrating in that way. Highlighting or bookmarking spots only helps if you know at the time you’ll want or need to return to this spot. Most of the time I don’t know that or..duh, I’d pay better attention to the minor details to begin with!
