Does it count the person the book goes to, or the person making the purchase - e.g. I gave the relative a gift card which was spent on ebooks. Seems like there would be lots of variables to consider.
The survey simply asked if you purchased an ebook. This would include everyone with or without devices.

For your example the number should be higher than 19% to include device owners and other ereading or non-ereading people.

About half are finding free reads either authorized or not.
