#Readathon Survey Update - How do your reading habits compare?

Posted by noumena12 at 2:33 PM

These are PRELIMINARY results from the Hour 10 Dewey’s Readathon Mini Challenge. I will post more indepth results after I’ve had a chance to collect and process more data…be sure to check back!

If you haven’t already, take the survey now!

Surveys Completed
110 readathon participants completed the survey (there were 442 people registered for the readathon so that is a 24% response rate); 27 left incomplete surveys. I’m pretty confident that this is because of some of the data that I requested (number of books by year and percentage of book format). John and I discussed this while I was creating the survey but I figured most Readathon participates were pretty serious book readers and might just know this information.

Respondent Gender
97% of respondents were women. This was no surprise to me.
