You can also read that statistic to say that 51% of iPad users are still considering getting one. In other words, the majority of iPad owners still want a separate eReader.

Aren't statistics fun?

(I don't think either one of those stats really mean anything. It's all in how you want to interpret people's answers.)
I don't think any of these "surveys" should be looked at as scientific proof. These are not research studies where all the variables are accounted for.

But it doesn't mean less formal studies should be easily dismissed. The fact that half those surveyed responsed in the same way suggests something. It suggests that maybe the iPad is a sufficiently satisfying 50% of people's eReading needs. Some may have higher requirements, some less, but nonetheless, about 50% have their needs met by the iPad. That's just what I'm taking from this survey. Not posting it as proof of some fact.
