Re: Draft EPUB Survey: Feedback requested

Dave-

I think the changes you made to improve the selling points and reorg the questions are excellent. To me it seems that this strikes a really good balance.

I have just a few more notes:
Question 11- add option for:
Retailer/Partner requests it

For the accessibility section, do we want to add something like:
How do you validate your accessible files?
ACE Checker
Partner validation

Question 52-
Please change “Sometimes ebooks purchased" to “Often ebooks purchased”


Should we move Question 53 to the end and make it a more general question?

What parts of the publishing ecosystem do you feel you represent?
Trade Publisher
Education Publisher
Professional Publisher
Author
Reader
Student
Conversion Partner
Reading System Engineer
Reading System/Retailer Employee
Other


Section 5: For the education section, I think we have to add back something like:
Do you use EPUB publications in your educational environment?

Section 6:
Googledocs should be Google Docs

Thanks!

I've made some major changes to the section on Semantics, and also incorporated some other feedback. We did have quite a few questions that were actually multiple questions. I've split some of these apart.

Greetings PubSteerCovites,

I've updated the survey based on the feedback from the PBGSC. I created a new link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FCNR3DV<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FCNR3DV>

I took some of the "are you aware..." questions and moved them (as statements) to the introduction of the sections on Educational and Corporate/Governmental publishing. This conveys the same information, but has the nice side effect of reducing the number of questions in the survey!

Keep those comments coming.

Thanks!

Dave

Hi PubSteerCoFolks!

We have a draft of the survey ready in SurveyMonkey. You can actually take the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PT2MMJV<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PT2MMJV>

I've been working on the survey organization, which is somewhat constrained by what SurveyMonkey allows.

Right now my major concern is about Sections 5 for Educators, and Section 6 for Governmental and Corporate Publications. Many of the questions in these sections may come across as proselytizing. I wonder if we can integrate these sections into the rest of the survey, while also reducing the number of questions (we have 85 right now). We are not focusing on other specific sectors of the industry in the same way, and I have also worked on language to make most of the questions less book-specific (hi Bill!) and perhaps a tiny bit less trade-specific.

Please provide feedback by email. You can take the survey to see how it feels, but don't put your thoughtful answers in just yet :)

Thanks,

Dave
