I would attribute increase in the numbers of sold ebook readers to increase in ebook sales.
If 3 years ago 1.000 units were sold and each user bought a lot, 10 ebooks, 10.000 ebooks sold.
Today, when 100.000 units are sold and only a small number of the new users actually buy ridiculously priced ebooks, instead of every new user who used to buy 10 ebooks now only 1 in 4 do it and buy only 2 books, it would still amount to 25.000*2=50.000
50.000 vs 10.000 - it is increase in sales, isn't it?
