I remember seeing a survey about 2000 which showed the relationship between computer ownership and being a fan of the various auto racing series. Nascar came up zero. Their fans didn't own computers.
I suspect the same is true today with eBook readers. I'm guessing that a large percentage of the American public will never buy one because the device won't pay for itself, they read so little.

Presently 10% of our bread winners don't even have a job. A lot of the rest of are just trying to get by, put food on the table, and pay the bills (me included). So yes, just about everyone I know, of all ages, know about ebooks, Kindles, Nooks, and iPads, they just can't make that purchase right now. There are others that can afford a $500-800 ipad, but I can assure you that they are not in the majority.
