To discover clues to the answer, I posted a survey over at <a href="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150381" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150381&amp;referer=');">Mobileread</a>, the online forum popular with many ebook readers.

I challenged readers to select the single most common criterion they follow to discover their next read.

The results provide some interesting data points Smashwords authors and publishers might consider in their marketing efforts.

To capture a broad range of usable data, I suggested 12 answers, one of which was "Other." Respondents were allowed to select one answer only since I wanted to identify the single most important discovery criteria.

As of this writing, 206 people answered the survey. Click the image to enlarge it.<span id="more-1487"></span>

Key findings, plus my observations:
<blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">1.</span> The most-selected answer was "Recommendations from fellow readers on online message forums, blogs and message boards," with 29% of respondents choosing this. By contrast, only 4% selected, "Personal friend/family member recommends it to me." I think this is fascinating, because it implies readers might trust the collective wisdom of strangers and online acquaintances more than they trust the recommendations of immediate friends and family. At the risk of placing too many eggs in this basket, remember 71% selected something else.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">2. </span> The second most common answer was, "I look first for my favorite authors," coming in at 18%. This makes sense. As I mention when I present my <a href="http://blog.smashwords.com/2010/10/seven-secrets-to-ebook-publishing.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blog.smashwords.com/2010/10/seven-secrets-to-ebook-publishing.html?referer=');">Seven Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success</a> talk, the author is the brand and if the author can earn the trust and loyalty of readers, readers will return to that brand for their next read. Readers in this group may also be more risk-averse. One respondent commented, "I'm at a point in life where I mostly stick with authors I already know and like. Why waste time and money on something I may not like?"

<span style="font-weight: bold;">3.</span> I found it interesting that the top two answers accounted for 47% of responses, with the other 53% of answers fragmented across ten other answers. This implies, I think, that in order for authors to reach the maximum number of readers, it requires them to orchestrate multiple touch points.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">4.</span> Several answers indicate buyers prefer a random discovery approach. Readers like to browse. Taken in the aggregate, random browsing rivals the single largest discovery method, with over 25% of respondents. The following are all random browsing methods: I browse book covers, and if it grabs me I investigate further (7%); I browse randomly then look at reviews (7%); I read free ebooks, and if I like the authors I buy their other titles (5%); I browse paper books at brick and mortar bookstores, then search for the ebook online (4%); I'll sample anything, and if it grabs me I'll download/buy it (4%). Most other answers involve some element of random browsing.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">5.</span> The Mobileread community has apparently abandoned traditional print media as their first choice for reviews and recommendations, with only 3% citing this as their preferred book discovery method. This isn't surprising, considering Mobileread is a hyper-focused community dedicated to e-reading. It's not representative of the entire population of book buyers. However, I think Mobileread does serve as a leading indicator of how consumer sentiment will change once readers make the transition to e-reading. Looking at the answers in aggregate, it's clear that over 90% of ebook discovery is occurring in the online realm.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">6.</span> I was surprised only 3% of respondents looked first to the bestseller lists, which scored just as poorly as print media reviews. Possibly it's a flaw in how I structured the survey. I was also surprised that retailer recommendations, such as the "people who bought this bought that," scored only 5%. Maybe if I asked, "Name the top three methods you use for discovery," these would have scored higher.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">7.</span> The "Other" answers, where I invited Mobilereaders to leave comments and elaborate, elicited 11% of responses. Judging from their comments, several of them found it difficult to choose a single favorite discovery method (in other words, they didn't follow the survey instructions which asked them to choose their #1). Of those who provided true "other" answers, several mentioned they discover books at libraries, or select primarily by title or book description (I should have included these as a survey options).</blockquote>
What to make of the results? How might authors and publishers focus their e-publishing efforts based on the data above? I think it boils down to the following:
<ul>
	<li>Write a great book that resonates with readers and gives them something to talk about</li>
	<li>Target readers who are active in online communities because they influence their fellow readers (The <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/305" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.smashwords.com/books/view/305?referer=');">Smashwords Book Marketing Guide</a> provides 30 online marketing ideas)</li>
	<li>Maximize the availability of your book so readers can randomly stumble across it and sample it</li>
	<li>Boring titles, unprofessional cover images and poorly written book descriptions are instant turn-offs</li>
</ul>
Do the findings above match your experience as a reader or author?

&nbsp;

* Microsoft is toast because we’re moving to a post-PC era;

* HTML5, the new web standard that allows to make interactive web pages, is going to revolutionize the media and advertising industries;

* Social is “done”, it’s now a feature, don’t go do a social startup.<span id="more-1446"></span>

Here’s what we thought were the most interesting points and assertions from the speech (quotes are paraphrased):

* Microsoft’s share of internet-connected devices has gone from 95% to under 50% in 3 years;

* Windows no longer provides measurable ROI to enterprises, who will shift spending to other products and services; this is a huge opportunity;

* Google is a victim of its own success: its search has become polluted by SEOs. What shows that Google has failed is all those “non-search” services that really solve a search problem, like Match.com or Realtor.com. If you add them all up, they account for 50% of searches.

* HTML5 is going to change everything. “In HTML5, an ad is an app, a tweet is an app, everything is an app.” “It’s a blank sheet of paper, and creativity rules again.”

* For example, “my band is putting out a full HTML5 site. You can watch all of our shows on an iPhone, live.” It’s very cheap and it changes the game because they don’t have to pay anyone anything.

* In HTML5, you don’t need to have display ads: Amazon can have a section of its store as an ad. So if you’re reading a book review, you can buy the book right from the page.

* Because HTML5 can make sites rich and interactive, engagement on a site can go from seconds to minutes.

* So a site could say: we have 5 sponsors today, which one would you like, and the sponsor follows you around throughout your experience on the site. “The fact that you can create and satisfy demand in the same place is only true in infomercials today, but it will be true on the web.” This, in turn, is highly disruptive to TV advertising.

* “The iPad is the most important device since the IBM PC.”

* “Apple will sell a hundred million internet-connected devices this year. That’s two thirds of the PC market.” If you add the other non-PC internet devices, that’s more valuable than the PC market.

* The iPad is the training wheels for HTML5. iPad apps show us what we need to beat in terms of creating a better experience on HTML5.

* Apple is an unstoppable freight train. In terms of tablets, it has no competitors and will probably end up with iPod-like marketshare. “It’s like IBM in the 60s; I can’t predict what that means; you need to find a way to play with it, but you also need to find a way to play over it” with HTML5.

* The fact that most people now have more than one device means the cloud is vital, because you want to have all your stuff on all your devices. It also means the old PC paradigm is dead, because the old PC paradigm means everything stored on one device, instead of everything in the cloud synced to many devices.

* In terms of keeping your stuff in the cloud, “Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple have completely failed to get the mobile experience right.” (We’ll let McNamee stand by that statement.)

* “Facebook has decided that they’re Twitter on steroids”.

* Currently Facebook Connect is free; eventually they’ll charge for it because it’s access to their social graph which publishers need, and that’s how they’l make money.

* Don’t try to be “social”: the big social platforms are created. You can’t create a social company, it’s just a checkbox. “The last 500 social companies funded by the VC community are all worthless. I’m serious.”

* But this creates an opportunity: while everyone is focused on social distribution, there’s a huge opportunity to get content right with HTML5. “Let’s create a new product, the way music videos were a new product.”

* Apple makes more gross margin per iPhone than most Android phones make in gross revenue, McNamee says.

* “Television is the last protected media business,” but it’s going to get disrupted. For one, once televisions are computers, analytics of who watches will get more accurate than Nielsen panels. “Everyone knows that if we go to actual measurement, ad rates will collapse because the numbers aren’t as good as Nielsen makes them look.”

* McNamee also had a few words about the economy: “we’re about 40% of the way of deleveraging the global economy, but we’re only 10% of the way of deleveraging the US consumer…I don’t care what your politics are, removing government demand from the economy when it’s struggling is ridiculous.” And to prop things up, the Fed is printing money and inflating bubbles, “but for us, that’s great!”: capital is very cheap; consumers are acting like the party’s on, so there’s lots of opporutnities.

* McNamee says he does “full contact investing”: he proves the concepts of what he invests in by trying them out with his band. So he knows HTML5 is going to work because it works for his band. Then he added, to audience laughter: “You’re going to say it’s a dipshit little band, yeah, it is, but we like it and our fans like it” and it works.<p class="wp-flattr-button"></p> <p><a href="http://blog.netmex.ch/?flattrss_redirect&amp;id=1446&amp;md5=a6f7763aafbf73bb441333494b7f83d0" title="Flattr" target="_blank"><img src="http://blog.netmex.ch/wp-content/plugins/flattr/img/flattr-badge-large.png" alt="flattr this!"/></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Für Unternehmen ist der <strong>Umgang mit Online-Inhalten oft eine neue Herausforderung</strong> (siehe auch "<a href="http://blog.namics.com/2011/04/guter-web-content.html" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/blog.namics.com/2011/04/guter-web-content.html?referer=');">Die neue Bedeutung von Web-Content</a>"): Heute werden Texte aus Print-Broschüren oder Katalogen 1:1 auf Corporate-Websites kopiert. Webmaster sind aber oftmals nur für das Publizieren der Inhalte zuständig; was fehlt sind Redaktions-Ressourcen, Prozesse und das Wissen über Online-Texte.

&nbsp;

In unserem heutigen <strong>Aiciti-Vortrag zum Thema Web-Content</strong> geben wir Tipps und Anregungen zu diesen und anderen Themen:<span id="more-1240"></span>
<ul>
	<li>Auch wenn Sie es von sich selbst nicht glauben, aber <strong>jedes Unternehmen hat Themen zu verbreiten</strong></li>
	<li><strong>SEO und Web-Texten</strong> sind verzahnte Themen</li>
	<li>Web-Content ist <strong>Marketing</strong> (und geldwert)</li>
	<li>Web-Content erfordert <strong>Ressourcen</strong></li>
</ul>
Und hier die Folien zum Vortrag:

Während ich vor einem Jahr <a href="http://leumund.ch/ipad-008459" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/leumund.ch/ipad-008459?referer=');">mit dem iPad als gesamtes nicht zurecht</a> kam, würde ich es zwar heute alleine wegen der <a href="http://flipboard.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/flipboard.com/?referer=');">App Flipboard</a> kaufen, aber <a href="http://leumund.ch/ein-buch-spater-das-ipad-2-auf-reisen-009348" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/leumund.ch/ein-buch-spater-das-ipad-2-auf-reisen-009348?referer=');">je länger ich das iPad 2 nutze</a>, desto mehr interessante Tools finde ich, um es auch in meinem Business-Alltag einzusetzen.

<img title="business-apps-ipad" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/business-apps-ipad3.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="214" />

Die grösste Änderung gegenüber dem Stand vor einem Jahr ist ganz klar das Multitasking, das mit iOS 4.0 eingeführt wurde. Damit kann effizient zwischen Apps gewechselt werden ohne dass man jedes mal wieder den Startscreen sieht. Das alleine, hat die Art mit dem iPad zu arbeiten komplett verändert.<span id="more-1220"></span>

Dachte ich zuerst, ich würde das iPad 2 vielleicht für die eine oder andere Präsentation im kleinen Kreis, oder als Bilderbuch mit Referenzen nützen entdecke ich jetzt auch kleine Helferchen die mir erlauben auf Reisen einfach auf Informationen zuzugreifen oder Gedanken niederzuschreiben. <span> </span>

Hier die 10 wichtigsten Apps für meine Businessaktivitäten:
<ol>
	<li><img title="dropbox" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/dropbox.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>Dropbox</strong></a> ist sozusagen das Dateisystem von iOS. Eigentlich hat Apple hier einfach keine Lösung gehabt und Dropbox hat diese Lücke gefüllt. Mit Dropbox kann ich auf dem iPad trotz dem geschlossenen System auf all meine Daten zugreifen, sei es zur Ansicht oder auch zur direkten Weiterverarbeitung mit anderen Apps. Dank der API Schnittstelle funktioniert diese Datenübernahme auch innerhalb von Apps.</li>
	<li><img title="evernote" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/evernote.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/evernote/id281796108?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/evernote/id281796108?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>Evernote</strong></a> ist ein Basistool, mit dem ich schon auf MacBook, PC und dem iPhone meine kompletten Unterlagen und Notizen verwalte. Beim Surfen mit iPhone und iPad wandern interessante Links via E-Mail in Evernote, Unterlagen, Scans und Bilder von unterwegs kommen direkt über die entsprechenden Clients in die Notizensammlung.</li>
	<li><img title="quickoffice" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/quickoffice.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/quickoffice-connect-mobile/id376212724?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/quickoffice-connect-mobile/id376212724?mt=8&amp;referer=');">Quickoffice für iPad</a></strong> (CHF 17.00) ist eine App mit der man sowohl Microsoft Word, Excel und Powerpoint Dateien bearbeitet. Das spezielle an der App ist aber, dass man sowohl Dateien in der Dropbox wie auch Google Documents direkt bearbeiten kann. Das heisst ich habe von überall Zugriff auf meine Dokumente und kann schnell Änderungen oder Berechnungen machen und die Dateien dann auch als PDF exportieren oder über Airprint drucken.</li>
	<li><img title="ithoughts" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ithoughts1.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/ithoughtshd-mindmapping/id369020033?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/ithoughtshd-mindmapping/id369020033?mt=8&amp;referer=');">iThoughtsHD</a></strong> (CHF 11.00) ist das erste Programm mit dem ich wieder Freude an Mindmaps habe. Ich hatte ja in der Firma mit dem Umstieg von Mac OS X auf Windows ganz vergessen wie praktisch man mit Mindmaps Gedanken sammeln kann. Auf dem iPad habe ich mit iThoughtsHD nun ein super Tool dabei mit dem ich schnell meine Gedanken ablegen kann. iThoughts unterstützt ganz viele Mindmap-Formate, man kann ein Mindmap aber auch einfach als Liste per E-Mail weiterleiten. Praktisch um die Gedanken in Evernote abzulegen oder Mitarbeitern ohne entsprechendes Programm weiterzuleiten.</li>
	<li><img title="iawriter" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/iawriter.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/ia-writer/id392502056?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/ia-writer/id392502056?mt=8&amp;referer=');">iA Writer</a></strong> (CHF 1.10) stammt von dem Schweizer Oliver Reichenstein der seine <a href="http://www.informationarchitects.jp/en/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.informationarchitects.jp/en/?referer=');">Agentur Information Architects</a> in Tokio hat. iA Writer ist eigentlich eine Schreibmaschine für das iPad. Auch hier kann man die Daten direkt auf die Dropbox sichern, der grosse Vorteil der App ist aber deren Reduktion auf das wesentliche und die Erweiterung der iPad Bildschirmtastatur um Cursortasten und andere praktische Shortcuts die man beim Schreiben gerne braucht.</li>
	<li><img title="calculator" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/calculator.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/calculator-for-ipad-free/id398129933?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/calculator-for-ipad-free/id398129933?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>Calculator</strong></a> ist das Programm, das man eigentlich gar nicht kaufen will. Aber anders als beim iPhone hat das iPad von Haus aus keinen Taschenrechner. Mit Calculator, der eigentlich kostenlos ist, hat man einen praktischen Taschenrechner für’s Büro oder unterwegs. Eigentlich deshalb, weil man sehr schnell die paar Franken ausgibt um den Rechner werbefrei zu halten. Die grossen Tasten und die schön gemachte Grafik sind die 1.10 aber Wert.</li>
	<li><img title="goodreader" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/goodreader.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>GoodReader</strong></a> (CHF 5.50) ist das Schweizer Taschenmesser unter den PDF-Reader Apps. Neben pdf Dateien kann man damit auch Word, Excel und Powerpoint Files öffnen sowie Bild- und Sounddateien anzeigen. Mit der Integration mit Dropbox oder WebDav Servern kann man Goodreader gut nutzen um zum Beispiel Dokumentationen schnell griffbereit zu haben. Anderseits ist Goodreader auch ganz praktisch um eBooks im PDF Format zu lesen.</li>
	<li><img title="soundNote" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/soundNote1.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/soundnote/id364789577?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/soundnote/id364789577?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>Soundnote für iPad</strong></a> (CHF 5.50) ist ein Notizenprogramm mit eingebautem Soundrecorder. Praktisch um bei Sitzungen, Vorlesungen oder Vorträgen nicht nur Notizen nach Hause zu nehmen, sondern auch die Möglichkeit zu haben jederzeit nachzuhören was genau gesagt wurde. Das praktische, jede Notiz (Text oder Zeichnungen) können einfach angeklickt werden und man kommt direkt zu der Stelle in der Audioaufnahme an der man die Notiz gemacht hat. Sowohl Text als auch das Audiofile können per E-Mail versendet werden.</li>
	<li><img title="roambi" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/roambi.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/roambi-visualizer/id315020789?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/roambi-visualizer/id315020789?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>Roambi – Visualizer</strong></a> ist ein Visualisierungstool, das ich leider im Detail noch nicht austesten konnte, das aber vielversprechend aussieht. Gerade in grösseren Organisationen kann damit der Informationsfluss vereinfacht werden und die Mitarbeiter mit schönen KPI-Dashboards ausgerüstet werden. Die App ist für den einfachen Gebrauch mittels Excel Import auf die <a href="http://www.roambi.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.roambi.com/?referer=');">zentrale Seite</a> kostenlos, Firmen die die Visualisierungen in Echtzeit nutzen wollen bezahlen aber für die Dienstleistung.</li>
	<li><img title="gotomeeting" src="http://leumund.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/gotomeeting.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/gotomeeting-v4-5/id363452804?mt=8" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/ch/app/gotomeeting-v4-5/id363452804?mt=8&amp;referer=');"><strong>GoToMeeting für iPad</strong></a> ist die iPad App für Webmeetings. Leider kann man damit nur an Meetings teilnehmen und keine eigenen Meetings organisieren. Gerade wenn man unterwegs ist, kann diese App zusammen mit einem iPhone Headset das Setup für eine Telefonkonferenz vereinfachen. Die Kamera im iPad 2 wird von GoToMeeting aber noch nicht unterstützt.</li>
</ol>
Für nur 41.20 Franken habe ich aus meinem iPad 2 ein mobiles Büro gemacht, mit dem ich nicht nur Dateien anschauen kann, sondern auch aktiv bearbeiten. Ich bin positiv erstaunt wie gut man zumindest auf die schnelle was suchen oder anpassen kann, genausogut kann man das iPad natürlich auch nutzen um Informationen weiterzuleiten. Das integrierte E-Mail Programm und der Kalender, mit oder ohne Exchange Anbindung runden natürlich den Nutzen im Businessumfeld ab. Selten war es so angenehm unterwegs schnell was zu erledigen.

Hier noch ein kurzes Video mit einem Einblick in die kostenpflichtigen Apps iThoughtsHD, Quickoffice, iA Writer, Calculator, Roambi und SoundNote:
