Preferred book format audience targeting

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Fiction), Preferred book format (E Books), and Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• Option B screams self-published book, which calls into question the quality of the writing and editing. I also tend to be turned off by a mention of an unknown series on the cover, particularly if I haven't read anything from the author previously. Option A is artsy and unique. It makes me curious about the book.
• I feel the painted art makes the item stand out a little bit, especially as the alternative appears to be kind of stock items for the cover and just doesn't look very good.
• The painted illustration of the paranoid looking women seems like an entertaining thriller to read
• I think I like this style very much.
• option B looks action packed, i love the use of technology in the picture. that covers hooks me from the start. i dont know what option A is about just by glancing at it. I dont get the impression it is a mystery it look more like historical romance would pass on it

This is a 2 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Religious affiliation (Christianity), Age range (25 34, 55 64, 35 44, 45 54), and Preferred book format (Any Print Format). A sample of responses:

• I chose B because it is nice to see the author on the cover of the book. It lets me know it's coming from his point of view.
• B shows the author.
• The pic of the man has nothing to do with the title. I like titles that reflect the subject of the book, not the author.
• I chose panel A. I like the sharp rock as a symbolic metaphor for what the title is all about.
• Really prefer a non human on the cover - plus I like climbing so having the mountain is an additional benefit.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction), Age range (35 44), and Preferred book format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• Option A did not have any hypnotizing effects; but its larger size and color combination made me picked it out!
• A definitely stands out more and it's easier to read
• I like the black accents which make you feel like you're falling down the hole.
• the black and yellow make the spirals move which doesn't happen in A
• Option C will definitley paralyze their ability to continue surfing the net. I is eye catching!!!

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book format (E Books) and Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• the words used in describing the title makes more sense.
• B gives more information about the book. It is a better description of the book
• The other stuff in the other title doesn't interest me
• B is much more descriptive and i think that will make people have a better understanding of the greater parts of the whole in this book.
• A because the title is shorter

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book format (E Books, Any Print Format) and Favorite book genres (Fiction (General), Christian, Religion And Spirituality, Science Fiction, Apocalyptic/Dystopian). A sample of responses:

• I like this one more because the writing on the pavement is lighter. There is no need to have it written twice so clear to see in the othe one especialy if the title is rt 666.
• The highway to hell idea makes it stand out much more and I like seeing that it's book one. Gives me something to look forward to when I finish the book! The layout looks much better.
• I like b better. I don't need the extra text shown in A to sell me on the book. The picture does all of the work.
• "Highway to hell" text just looks cheap and tacked on.
• The layout in A is more pleasing to me. The layout looks natural

This is a 5 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book format (E Books, Any Print Format), Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month, 4+ Books/Month), and Favorite book genres (Fiction (General), History, Humor / Entertainment, Politics And Social Sciences). A sample of responses:

• I like the images in the background of B and A. They seem to match the theme most of an American historical humorous novel. I like the placement of text better on B, more visually appealing. I think D and C seem too serious and plain.
• I think that option E seems the most mysterious and does not give away possible key elements from or about the story.
• C looks the best and most enticing to me- The layout and images make it look interesting and would make me want to pick it up.
• E - This cover is the most unique and fitting. I like the art style which really gives it a historical vibe. A and B I much prefer the history art style as opposed to C/D's use of the Washington Monument. It's not as visually appealing or attention grabbing.
• My first instinct was to chose Option A; however, after I looked it over, it made me confused thinking the author was the duke. I like the artwork in Option A with the ships, coins, and the capital building rather than the one with the lightening striking the national monument. I do however prefer the blue colors in Option D that make the cover really pop and stand out. Ideally, I would prefer to get rid of the monument and coastline, and replace that with the graphics used with the ships. Have the lightening bolt strike the capital instead. In other words the cover with the ships is ideal but it is too washed out. The order of the text labels needs to be: The American Dream, The Duke of D.C., a Novel by, James Moseley. Any other order is rather confusing to me.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Gender identity (Female) and Preferred book format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• Based on just thencover and the title, it seems to very ,uch be a young adult novel. I would probably skip it, since I prefer adult mystery novels.
• yes it looks very dark, dramatic and mysterious so it is something I would love to click on to learn more!
• Very nice cover with graphics that matches the title, it also has nice background theme color.
• I would, but I would expect it to be a YA/Kids novel based on the art style.
• Yes I really like the name and the age of the character. I don’t find the cover artwork appealing. I wish it were more cohesive, all of the friends together in the same setting. It reminds me of a book of short stories which I don’t like.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Age range (55 64, 65+, 45 54, 35 44), Interest in cooking (Avid Home Cook), Preferred book format (Hardcovers), and Amazon Prime member (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Cooking with love is part of what my family believes in, so this book grabs my attention
• I picked the, what looks like a hard cover, recipe book first because I'm always spilling stuff and don't want it ruined. I picked A second because the aesthetic of the spiral notebooks of both A and C are nice, but A I can make out "Recipe" better than C.
• I just love the name cooking with love. I do not know much about it but I love the name. My second choice has a nice cover and the third choice is average. I do not know if I will ever buy these three books but if I do it will be Cooking with Love.
• i like the cover its attractive. it has a loving feel. almost like a grandmother put it together with all her recipes.
• B, The graphics on the cover caught my eye.
