Is reading faster, on an E-reader, important to you?

Dear fellow readers,

We are a group of students researching the subject of "the importance of speed reading on E-books".
We would appreciate if you would be able to fill out our survey (link below).
It will only take 2 minutes of your time :)

Thank you very much!

I see this post (and an identical post at two other ebook-related groups) has already gotten two flags. I went to the site specified and followed through on the survey (though without giving it a whole lot of thought) just to see what the end result was. Nowhere did they ask me for an email address or otherwise engage in any marketing, though they did indicate that they have an app for speeding up ebook reading and asked what I would be willing to pay for it -- a question that could arguable be part of an academic survey for statistical purposes.

Their posts may be a questionable, but....

(1) They genuinely aren't marketing anything, as far as I can see, and

(2) They are only (again, as far as I can see) posting to LT's specific ebook-related sites.

Based on what I've seen, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and "counter-flag" on their behalf. I know this is a close call, but they genuinely don't appear to be selling anything, and I don't want to discourage anyone who may genuinely be a student and asking for help for a class assignment. Giving them benefit of the doubt, I don't think I can find anything in LT's "terms of use" that prohibit this; and I'm someone who is actually pretty quick to "flag" anything that looks like spam.

I'd note, though, that although my own answers to the questions were reasonably accurate, I didn't spend a lot of attention on answering them (it genuinely only took me a couple of minutes) and I don't know how valid any of these survey results may be. Anyway, if you genuinely are students, good luck to you on your project; but I'm not sure how statistically valid the results are going to be.

I've not done the survey (because I mostly don't) but given what CurrerBell writes, I will support CB and counterflag.

Hi and thank you for the comments.
The reason we said we HAVE an app for speed reading and the amount you are willing to pay for it, is to give people a chance to visualize our research. It is hypothetical.

Dan.

were almost there!
thanks!

I've filled in the questionnaire.

I said No to the question about wanting an app to read faster

But there was no opportunity to explain why.

1) I already read fast
2) I have a Kindle ereader and Iyou can't download apps for that.

Questionnaire could be better designed.
