					<description><![CDATA[Hey, thank you for recommending my talk! I&#039;m going to take you to task a bit however, because what you&#039;ve said above isn&#039;t exactly right. You say, &quot;Porter created a new survey in 2016, and the results indicated that 90% of respondents had used digital editions to some extent, while 78% of respondents reporting using print.&quot;

 What I actually did in the talk was make a distinction between &lt;strong&gt;digital&lt;/strong&gt; editions and &lt;strong&gt;digitized&lt;/strong&gt; editions (a digitized edition being something like an old print edition accessed through Google Books). Quoting from my talk, &quot;Over 90% of respondents report using digital editions at all, although only just over 40% report using them “more times than I can count”.&quot; To continue, in comparison with this &quot;When asked about digitized editions, however, over 75% report using them “more times than I can count”, and only 2 respondents – .6% – report using them not at all&quot; and &quot;Print edition usage is similar to digitized edition usage, with about 78% reporting they use them “more times than I can count” and no respondents reporting they use them not at all.&quot; So the 90% number for digital editions is the total number of uses (even if the respondent only used a digital edition once), while the numbers for digitized and print editions are actually much higher (100% for print editions and almost 100% for digitized editions) and they used them many more times, too.  

I realize now I left out a chart comparing all three, which I&#039;ll put in the talk now. That makes the comparison much more clear. But saying respondents use digital editions 90% and print editions 78% makes it looks like they use digital editions more than print which is not true at all.]]></description>
