Poll: Thanks to all those who responded to the poll last week.
To really understand where developers are buying their books
we could do with a few more answers. Please take two minutes
to answer the following questions to help iDR offer the services
that developers want.
Please answer the following questions and cut and paste into
an email to [email protected]?subject=Book_Poll so we
can provide a bookstore which caters for all.
1. Do you want book reviews & ratings from the community to help
you decide on a book to purchase?
2. Would you like a weekly list of the top books?
3. Do you purchase your developer books through Amazon?
4. If not, why not?
5. Do you have another favourite site for book buying?
6. Do you buy from a site located in your country eg amazon.co.uk?
7. Do you check books out on the Net and then go to a bookstore
to buy?
Any other comments welcome.
