Burning questions

 
 
 
Ok, its not really a quiz and there are no wrong answers, I just wanted to get you attention.  I am curious about a few things and hope you can help me out...
 
 
Ready?
 
 
Question 1 - how do you browse for books? find books?
  • in bookstores
  • online
  • social media
  • blogs
  • mystery magazines
  • reviews/coverage in newspapers
Question 2 - if you are browsing in a bookstore, what formats are you looking at? Or what format do you prefer? Does the format deter you from buying the book?
  • mass market
  • trade paper
  • hardcover
  • ebook
Question 3 - when considering a book, what is more important - critical reviews from publications like Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, etc or author blurbs? Or is it the cover art? Back cover copy? Or do you just open it up and start reading?
 
Question 4 - do you partake in various promotions such as the Amazon Daily Deals, Goodreads giveaways, etc?
 
Final essay
 
If you had a publishers undivided attention, what you would you want us to know?
