How do you classify yourself as a reader?

Family Portrait

As my beta readers plow through The Beresfords, it's time for me to make some marketing and publishing decisions. Up to now, I've always offered both print and ebook editions of my works (except for Mia and the Magic Cupcakes, which is hardcover only). Relative to ebook versions, print editions are more expensive to design (need a spine, back cover, and text formatting), produce, and distribute, but I know some of you are very devoted to physical books. I myself feel wistful at the thought of not holding a weighty, beautiful copy of The Beresfords in my eager hands.

So I thought I'd ask--should I go ahead with a physical edition or not? It would be odd to have launch parties with nothing to sign--would we all hit "Buy Now" at the same time? But on the other hand, I'd love to save you money if I can.

Check out the Poll to the right there. Would you do me the kindness of clicking a box? You may click more than one, if you're one of those folks who would buy a book two ways. Or maybe I could figure out how to "gift" an ebook edition, if you already purchased the print one. Research...

Thanks, folks. And please, I welcome comments! Why did you choose what you chose? If you have an e-reader, what percentage of books do you read on it?

I have a Kindle and use it mainly for free classics, library books, and galley reviews. Love it. It probably amounts to 40% of my reading.
