The article is discussing FRENCH ebook readers/customers, and in France ebooks sales are almost nonexistent. The US market is more general and developed now, so US ebook reader demographics are completely and totally irrelevant.

And is anyone surprised that the people who are into the bleeding edge of technology would turn out to be wealthy men?
I'm not sure that it's only discussing French e-book customers...although it's hard to tell exactly who she is talking about. She's French, but she works for an international publisher (Hachette) is speaking in Barcelona and is being quoted in a British paper. And she also mentions US e-book reader numbers 9%, European numbers 1%, and French numbers (0%, basically).
