I'm not particularly surprised at this. My book-buying habits haven't changed very much since I got an e-reader; the difference is that now I also buy e-books as well, on top of everything else.
The overlap between the types of p-books I buy (graphic novels, non-fiction art & reference, severely out-of-print backlist books, new releases from my favourite authors, special deluxe collectors' editions) and the types of e-books I buy (severely out-of-print backlist books that I can't find a decent copy of used, old & new releases from my favourite authors which are discounted to dirt cheap) is pretty low.
And I've never been much for buying stuff I could get from the library and didn't like enough to "keep", so I'm not one of those people who's been replacing a MMPB bestseller acquisition habit with the e-book equivalent.
So I imagine there are enough other people who see p-books and e-books serving different reading niches for them that would yield the stated results.
