Interestingly, the generation with the highest percentage of ebook reader ownership is Younger Boomers (47-56), at 7 percent, followed by Older Boomers at 6 percent.

I think you mean, followed by Silent Generation (66-74) at 6 percent?

For some reason, there's a downwards dip in the Older Boomers (57-65) age bracket: only 3 percent of them own an e-book reader.

(I could guess that for Younger Boomers it's a combination of disposable income and greater comfort with technology, while for the Silent Generation it's a matter of being able to increase font size... but that's ONLY a guess :-)
