Based on the cover, which book about Thailand for Couples would you rather buy and why?

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Relationship Status (Married, Cohabitating With Significant Other) and Travel Frequency (Frequently). A sample of responses:

• I find Choice B to be my favorite because it looks as if it is from the couples point of view. As if it is inviting you to come aboard for a ride in a romantic and exotic landscape. Choice B also has the best visual presentation. The water is a beautiful shade a green and the mountains are so inviting and the sky so very blue. Choice A is my second choice because it also has a beautiful visual layout. I like the way the boat is anchored to the shore, and the view of the jungles invites the viewer to an exotic getaway. I could imagine having a picnic there on a private beach. Choice C is OK but the boat is so close it takes away from the landscape in the back. It makes the boat the prominent feature instead of the destination. Choice D is just OK as well. The boat is more attractively displayed but the view is not optimal as the landscapes are too distant.
• The top three options were all close to me so I'll start out with why I ranked D a distant last. Option D while attractive, just didn't have as much going on as the other three options. It looked more just like an ordinary beach. I ranked Option C first as I thought it did the best job highlighting the personality of the local boat while still having a nice beach scene with the picturesque cliffs off to the side. I ranked B a close second as it also was very picturesque and I enjoyed the perspective of the boat on it. It made me feel like the book would take me on a journey through Thailand. Option A was also a very solid option as well, similar to Option C; however, Option C just stood out to me more and caught my attention right away.

Based on the cover, which book would you rather buy?

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:

• Option B looks the most professional to me. If I was shopping for a book on how to write I would want one that was written by someone serious who had solid advice to give. Option A would stand out to me more due to the colored background, but it also puts the emphasis on the detail by giving the more specific information a red background and I find that to be an indication that the author is more serious and potentially well informed. Choice C looks like a pop culture how to book that wouldn't actually give me information that would be useful to me.
• I chose Option A first because I preferred the overall font and color scheme the most. I felt it looked professional and also very appealing with the blue background that stood out, but blended nicely with the general color scheme. I chose Option C next because I also liked the font and layout, but felt the 'yellow highlite' was unnecessary and seemed like it clashed with the color scheme. I chose Option B last because I did not like the font and felt the words looked crammed and not spaced out nicely.
• I find A appealing because it is mature and attractive, it has a very nice content of cover design with good display, while C is cool and attractive and i like the display content with good design and nice content of book cover, also B looks nice and I belief it has a good idea of cover design but the color is is not really attractive to me.

Which book cover is more appealing?

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Dog Owner (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I chose B as my first choice because the dog on the front looks very happy and friendly, and the fact that he's wearing a leash reflects the reality of being a small dog owner, which is, they have a lot of energy and need to be walked often. I chose D as my second choice because the dog on the front looks absolutely adorable, and it makes me want a Shorkie. I chose C as my third choice because I found the dog less cute, though I do enjoy how he's looking directly at the camera like he wants to play. I chose A as my fourth choice because I like how the dog is in focus, but I don't like how the people holding him are out of focus.
• I chose B because I like the colors used and the dog is cute and the way that it looks into the distance and how it is panting is cute. I chose C as my second choice because I like how the dog is looking into the camera and the toy in their mouth. I like to colors in the book and how it matches the bandana. I chose D as my third choice because it's cute how the dog is looking in the camera and has its tongue out. The colors are appealing. I chose A as my final choice because the people holding the dog connects to other owners.
• I find A appealing because it is colorful and attractive, it has a very nice cover design with good display, while B is cool and attractive and i like the display content with good cover design and nice content of design also D looks nice and I belief it has a good idea of book cover design and the pleasant color of the image, C looks plesant and simple with good design on the cover but the color is not really attractive to me

What Finance/Accounting book would you want to buy/read on Amazon/Kindle??

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read Per Month (1 3). A sample of responses:

• A finance book that explains stock options, preferred stock, puts and calls. These are the more elusive investing areas for which I do not have a deep or even fundamental understanding. I suggest the book provide numerous examples of such investing and how they can be part of an investment strategy. Also, a book on accruals and deferrals. These accounting treatments tend to be often misunderstood and under appreciated. Finally, a book on the fundamentals of understanding a company's financial statements. Some tips on basic ratios and tests to do or look at to get a better feel for the overall financial health of a company.
• I think a good topic is about the possible future in the economy. This doesn’t have to be political but with a new administration coming in where I think people are going to feel the hurt, what can they do to help protect themselves. Stock market is up right now and has been climbing a lot after the election but for me I feel a swing downward. Is there a strategy I could use to make the loss not be as bad? Maybe I mis read the situation, maybe it’s the time to get in but why that would be the case.
• I think budgeting would be a big topic people want to know more about. People tend to not have enough to save for retirement, future college expenses and other savings needs. I think people need to take a deeper look at where their money goes and ways to avoid overspending and wasting money on unimportant things. If they could learn more about budgeting, it would be easier for them to make smart savings decisions and live a better financial life.

If you believed in God and wanted to grow and find a better life, which title would you pick? Please also comment: On a 1-5 scale (5 is best) how likely would you be to buy that title?

This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:

• Option D to me is the best option out of all these choices, 9 keys to a total transformation speaks so much to the person interested in bettering their lives. Giving someone a step by step guide on how to do it will always outperform other choices. Option B is great a s well the trail to transformation is just telling you how it goes and how its a good thing. Option F , is also a great choice as well with a great slogan that really stands out and makes you believe in what the description says. Option E gateway to transformation is such a positive message that I think is great and excellent and really stands out catches the eye. Option A is great as well although not as strong as the others Recipe for a Breakthrough is good but, I think the word Recipe could be taken out of context and people not really know what is trying to be said here. Option C just doesnt make any sense to me at all, Personal Divine Alchemy, I dont really feel the term alchemy has anything to do with whats going on in the description.
• In order to find a better life the title I would give option F a rating of 5 as my first preference because it promise to update me on how to transform my life with keeping up with the digital age.Second option would be A because it is a guide for breaking through to a better life via of digital age.Third option is D because it is the keys to a guided better life but option F promise to show the way.Fourth option is E because it states the gateway which means it will show me how to enter whereas I need more info on what happens after I enter.Fifth option is B because it promise to show the trail on how to get into the digital age but still need directions once into the trail.Sixth option is C because Alchemy means the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life whereas my intentions are to be transformed to the digital age.

Which book would you be more likely to read, and why?

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Education (Graduate Degree). A sample of responses:

• The words "million dollar" in Option A instantly make me think about business success. It's very clear that the book is about succeeding in a business goal, and that it will teach me to aim high and succeed. In contrast, the word "meaningful" in option B makes it sound like the book is about something more spiritual or personal-growth focused. The phrase "meaningful message" really doesn't match with the subtitle's theme of launching a business as effectively as the phrase "million dollar message".
• Option A is much clearer about the fact the book is about business and making money. Option B could be about anything, any kind of emotional or moral cause and not specifically about business and brand success. I don't think I'd be likely to actually read either book, but if I was, I'd be more likely to look at Option A than B. I wouldn't assume B was helpful to me at all, I'd probably read the top part and assume it was about communication without even reading the rest.
• Although "Million Dollar Message" sounds very cheesy/marketing tool, like "Million Dollar Dad", the title is more logical for a Business book about branding. Whereas, "Meaningful" message sounds more like a book from Oprah about feelings and zen. However, if it's a blueprint to launch a non-profit or a business that has a strong charity/mission based outlook, then meaningful message would be a better fit.

Which book cover is more appealing?

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Dog Owner (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I chose C as my #1 because I like the full image of the dog. An individual who is not familiar with this type of dog is able to see body type, build, and size. I chose A as my #2 because of all the images, it was the clearest image to me and is more detailed than the others. B was by #3 choice because it looks blurry to me. Also, it has multiple dogs on the pic, but, only the red/chocolate doberman which, in my opinion, is not the most popular color of the breed. If multiple dogs were going to be used, I would like to have seen multiple colors from the breed.
• The doberman with his ears up and tongue hanging out is adorable! It gives a good image to the breed to see him playful like that, so A is my top choice. B is my second as the three beautiful dobermans together highlight the breed's social nature. The lovely single doberman is great too, but doesn't highlight any specific attribute of the dog (playfulness or socialness.)
• I chose C as my first choice because the dog looks very elegant. I chose A as my second choice because Doberman Pinschers can be quite loving and so I like the happy dog on the cover. I chose B as my final choice because the dogs look too serious and hardened for my liking.

Based on the cover, which book about military memoir would you rather buy?

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:

• Option A with the black background really helps the American flag and the dog tags stand out so I really like this one. It's not too crowded and the placement feels balanced overall. Option D feels like it would really be a memoir so I think it would be the second best choice to help get the message of the book across to people who see the cover. Option C feels a bit more balanced compared to Option B, so I chose it as my third option. The white background doesn't feel too appealing but it's much less busy compared to all of the elements shown on Option b, which made it my least favorite book cover. There's too much going on and all of the elements from other cover options are included, making it feel highly cluttered and not as appealing.
• For a military memoir book, I prefer book C because the cover includes a picture of the fallen soldier and his sister, and the cover looks the cleanest. Book B is my second choice because it includes the same photo, though the black background is inferior to the white background in cover C. Book A is my third choice because it doesn't include the soldier and sister photo, opting to include simply some dog tags. Book D is my least favorite because the stock photo of the funeral procession looks ugly, and I don't like the grey font of the title.

Which book would you buy?

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Books Read - Science Fiction & Fantasy (Books Read: Science Fiction & Fantasy) and Age Range (25 34, 18 24). A sample of responses:

• Option B just reads very oddly on it's own, like it was miswritten. Perhaps a subtitle would be useful here, but really I keep re-reading it and it just seems like a typo that should have read "good". Or even if it read "Your" instead of "the" it might translate better. Plus mixing a plural and singular so directly following one another is also weird to read. I think option A is easy to read when scanning book titles and it gives me a little bit of an idea of what I might expect the content to be.
• I chose option A because it sounds like a more secular book; I am personally not a religious person and therefore am not interested as much in something that is explicitly religious. I also think that "The Mark of a Healer" has marketing potential and could be more visually appealing to customers who see the physical book on Amazon or in a store.
• Based on the title alone, that’s a really tough decision. Knowing the genre would help a lot. But just based off the title I prefer B, “The God Keys”. It sounds intriguing and is much easier to remember than the other title. This one sounds like it could be a really engaging read while A sounds like it might fall a little flat.
• As someone who is not at all a religious person, a book entitled "The God Keys" did not hold much appeal for me. Although I am unfamiliar with the actual subject matter of the book, the title itself was a bit of a turnoff to someone like me who is more of a secular person.

Based on the cover, which book would you rather buy?

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:

• B: The cover is eye catching and grabs your attention. I like the photo of the Soldier and his sister, and also the brief description.A: I like this cover too, it's somber and you can discern that it's about war and suffering. I like that you can see "Afghanistan" right on the cover, so I know which war its about. For example, sometimes I read about the war in Southeast Asia, other times Somalia, so I do look for that.C: Also a great cover, I think it should be used for an alternate format. I see the flag draped coffin in the background, that's a nice solemn touch.
• Based on the covers, I would buy book B because I love the wavering flag at the top, and it's great that there is a picture of what I think is the author and his sister. Book C is my second favorite because it has those same elements, but its left placement of the author info is inferior to the right placement on cover B. Book A is my least favorite because it is bland and lacks color and has no picture of the hero or his sister.
• For stories like this one, having a picture on the cover that one can use to connect with the story I feel is appealing as it gives the story a more personal touch and makes it more appealing, which is why I picked C and A has my top choices. Option A is still an appealing cover also but the picture of the individuals the book will be about in Options C and A, make them a slightly better overall choice.
