Glad you had a good time at Readercon. Most people seemed to enjoy themselves, and sometimes were surprised at how much Readercon feeling you could get from a virtual event. While I was volunteering I did encounter two people who were sad that being online really didn't capture what they valued from the con.
I've been to large number of on-line cons both speculative and gaming, and I'm never seen a vendor area as active as the bookseller channels were. And people definitely mentioned to the damage to their wallets.
The prep work was really impressive. I hope other cons take advantage of it--I'm certainly encouraging Worldcon to leverage this for the hybrid side of the event.
