The point is, trying to generalize about the buying public and attribute any kind of characteristic to them is futile without having either solid data or an obvious connection. By solid data, I mean a good survey, which itself is fraught with uncertainty. By obvious connection, I mean that I wouldn't challenge the assertion that most subscribers to Golf Digest are golfers.

I'm making an assumption based on my conversations with a number of people who are not on this forum, as well as my own buying process--anecdotal evidence. But I think it's a logical generalization to make, which doesn't mean I'm assuming anything about each individual Kindle owner and non-Kindle owner.
