Post Alaska consumes the most e-books, per capita
This information, from Shelf-Awareness, caught my eye.

"Coker used the 20,000 e-books Smashwords distributes to Barnes & Noble, whose reports break down sales by state. Looking at the numbers for December through February, he then employed population data from the recent U.S. census to determine "the final, coolest numbers of them all, a normalized measure of per capita e-book consumption for each state."

His top five states for per capita e-book consumption:
Alaska
North Dakota
Utah
Wyoming
Virginia

It would be interesting to see the e-book consumption data compared to bookstore availability as well.
