"Adults don't have ereaders" is still true in general even if a few adults are now starting to buy ereaders.

I didn't say that I agreed with her, I said your statement of "this no longer holds true" was not yet true.
I DON'T agree with her. I just bought my 8 year old an e-reader. For fear of self incrimination, I won't tell you what book he was reading on it tonight.
Also, as for the second part, Adults have hit a critical market mass...enough to make other companies decide to follow Amazon into the ereader biz....kids are, I'd guess, a trivial part of the market still.
Smartphones and iDevices have more of a chance of making young people a significant factor in the ebook market for the immediate future than dedicated ereaders do...if only the publishers could figure out how to get more of them to read.....
