Poll Results: Which eReader Do You Own?

Starting April 9, 2011 on the Open Books Facebook page we asked our fans the question, Which eReader do you own? Because there are so many different eReaders on the market we decided to allow respondents to add eReaders to the list. Out of 335 (and counting) responses here are the results in order of popularity:

NOOK: 148
Amazon Kindle:117
None. I prefer real books: 18
Other: 15
iPad: 9
I haven't bought one yet: 7
iPhone: 5
iPod Touch: 3
Sony eReader: 3
Kobo Reader: 2
Kindle (on Windows 7): 1
Android Tablet: 1
Palm Pilot: 1
Droid X: 1

Although we expected to find NOOK and Kindle high on the list, what we find most interesting as well as encouraging from the poll answers is the sheer diversity of eReaders on which people are reading eBooks. As an emerging eBook publisher, we can't help but think the more eReaders on the market the better. In the next few years we also believe that the third and sixth most popular results ("None. I prefer REAL books" and "I haven't bought one yet") will diminish.

We'd like to thank everyone who answered our question, Which eReader do you own? If you were not able to take part in the poll and would like to add your vote to list, then please feel free to do so on the original question here or within the comments area of this post.
