Their tablet or phone is also unlikely to have been purchased specifically for the purpose of reading books.
The key piece of information we need is whether the number of people in each period who have previously used eInk but who now decide to switch exclusively to reading on a tablet outweighs first time purchasers of eInk devices.

hi graham,
i'm so glad you understand the statistics involved in this. the survey/study almost guaranteed a decrease in percentage of those who prefer e-ink because they added tablet users into the mix. and you are also correct in suggesting that if they wanted to do it correctly, they should only count users of both e-ink devices and tablets.
so much misuse of statistics...ugh.
