The figures should be taken with a very large pinch of salt, as there are obviously serious issues with the data. You can see two glaring issues with the graph in the article:

- Between May-11 and Aug-11 it seems that 3% of the adult population destroyed their ebook readers, dropping total ownership from 12% to 9%
- No tablets at all were sold between Aug-11 and Dec-11, followed by the total numbers of ebook readers and tablets almost doubling in a month after that.

I do not believe that their stated margins of error are correct.

The May-11 ereader figure looks obviously wrong. Both figures for Dec-11 look obviously wrong. How much trust should we place in the others?
