And having a reader makes it more convenient to read. You can carry it wherever you go, read whenever you have a spare moment, and have more than one book available without a weight penalty. The scarce resource for the folks surveyed is likely time to read, and a reader makes it easier to use those spare minutes scattered throughout the day.
