2) There are a rather large percentage of people in third world countries that can not read and do not have the resources needed to learn to read.
3) There are a large percentage of people who can not speak a languege that readers will support, and face it the readers do not support every languege.
4) A lot do not know about electronic readers.
5) Price is a factor, there are a percentage of people, like me, that do not want to pay that much for a reader.
6) Don't have the dollars, how do you tell someone that is working two jobs and is barely paying the rent that he/she needs to spend $200 that they don't have for an electronic reader.
7) Some are like my parents who are afraid of technology.
