Interesting charts, thanks! I am surprised at the 36% of people reading ebooks on computers still-I thought that would be a lot lower.
But some of those numbers seem odd: Quote:

I find it hard to believe more tablets were sold than ereaders, considering the cost.
Isnt there a recession on? |

Several people I know who had eReaders and got iPads, are NOT getting rid of their eReaders.
They prefer them for reading. |
