1. No.

1. Yes, I would be more likely to buy in advance.
2. Yes, I use wish lists all the time.
1) It would be nice to be able to preorder.
2) Sometimes do just to remind me that I haven’t bought them or that I’m still waiting for those to be published.
1. I usually don’t pre-order books. I usually wait until it comes out.
2. I have used wish lists for my ebooks on one site. For others, I just check periodically or I am already aware of a particular book being available as I tend to keep up with my favorite authors.
I recently pre-ordered a book.
I forgot where I pre-ordered it and
all the information about it. I didn’t write it down anywhere. My BAD. But I will never pre-order a book again unless it is guaranteed to be sent to me without anything else on my part.
No, I don’t do wish lists, I just buy my books.

Hi Selena,The answer to your questions are YES for me. I bought and read your short story Dawgtown: Homecoming and really enjoyed it, I’ll be reading more of your books for now on. Keep up the good work. Smiles, Connie
1. I already pre-order all my auto-buy authors
2. I use a wish list to keep track of upcoming books,as well as new authors that I’ve come across at blogs or review sites.
Yes I would buy if you could preorder
And I have to have a list other wise I get the same books
1. Yes, I’ll buy if preordering is available but in the long run it doesn’t make a difference. If it’s a book that I want, I’ll buy it when available.
2. Yes, I use wish lists to keep track of the books that I want to read.
To answer your questions: a) I don’t generally pre-order a book, I just buy it if it looks interesting; and b) I don’t use wish lists personally, but I can see where they can come in handy for keeping track of books you might be interested in buying.
1. No, probably not for e-books. Too uncertain on release date, most of the time.
2 Yes, most definitely. Since I can’t read or afford all the books I want to read, making wish lists helps me remember which books I still need to read.
It’s a good selling point to have wish lists. When they are not available I tend to forget about the books I want to read and if I cannot remember, I cannot buy.
No when I purchase an item(s) I want it as soon as possible.
Yes I use wish list all the time. It help keep track of books I want.
1. Yes I pre-order and will buy.
2. I sometime use wish-list if I want to remember a book that I want to read but there are others that i want more that I will but first.
Thank you for the contest Selena!!
1. no
2. I use WL to keep tract of books i want
Preordering makes me less likely to order an ebook.
I do use wish lists though.
