Doubt you would have this data but in case you do... I wonder what the numbers are for people who read books to completion on ebook or paper formats. Or how far into the different formats people choose to read. I know that most of the time when I read any ebooks, I end up never finishing the book. When it's paper, I usually finish the book. I think it's mainly because with a paper book it's harder to get distracted than when I'm looking at ebooks. If it's a topic I'm studying, or need / really want to know then I'll get the paper version.

I had the exact same thought. I might add this question in, or add it to a later survey (we're doing a bunch of surveys on paper versus screen for ebooks, news, PDFs, etc.). I have the same behavior pattern you mentioned, though it's hard to know whether this is strictly a bad thing. If word-search-ability means I can get all the relevant stuff out of a book, then perhaps that's more efficient than reading the whole thing.
