One of the reasons why many of us read the blogs of others is to find out what they thought of particular books and to pick up recommendations for our reading.In the last 20 months I have been watching and assessing the trend in the adoption of e-readers. We've been subjected to a lot of hyperbole from Amazon about how sales of e-books have been increasing and it certainly seems that there is a marked adoption of e-readers in the crime fiction reading community.
I've summarised the poll results here: e-book poll has closed: interesting & significant results
For the next two weeks I am running another poll: Series or Stand-Alone?
Do you have a preference? Do you avoid reading a series? Have your say.
