[Edward Goas]

My name is Edward Goas. I am a graduate student at the University of
Advancing Technology in Arizona, pursuing a Master's degree in
Technology Management. My thesis involves digital media. More
specifically, it involves digital books, or eBooks. Estimated
completion time of the survey is 5 minutes. You do not need to be a
regular eBook reader to take part in this survey. Feel free to leave
any answers blank and submit an incomplete survey; it's quite all
right!

For those interested, I will happily provide my data and thesis upon
its completion to anyone who submits a survey. I'll provide it in any
format you'd like.

Here is a link to it:

There is a short introduction that explains what I am researching and
what I mean by the terms 'digital media' and 'eBook'. Please do not
hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Unfortunately, the scope of my thesis is limited to people residing in
the United States.

Thanks in advance to those who participate!

Interesting, but your survey doesn't have a single reference to nor
question about DRM, which, imho, makes it fairly irrelevant since, in
it's current and past forms, has been the biggest deterrent to the
success of ebooks.

Yes there is, in question 20 ("Have no file security restrictions (digital
rights management)") . And also the open question at the end "What is your
biggest annoyance related to acquiring and using digital media?"
