Closing Thoughts

It’s really interesting to see what people are searching for.

1. People frequently search for whether Sony Reader is compatible with Kindle and Amazon. 
2. People certainly seem to want backlit ereaders.
3. Price seems to be a big factor – Lots of people searching for whether Kindle and Nook are worth it.
4. Some people seem to think the Apple Tablet will include Pixel Qi screens.
5. eReaders being frozen seems to be a common theme.
6. Lots of people checking to see whether Nook really is slow.
7. The iPod Touch certainly makes its way into a lot of searches.
8. Nook certainly seems to be getting attention.

The eReader related questions people seem to have are quite different from what my perception about people’s concerns was. Of course, we’d have to check search suggestions for a lot more searches to get a complete picture.
