What I would like to know is where they took the survey; where did they collect their data from? What part of the country, SES, ages, gender, race and such were used in this study.

You can say 10% of college students have never read a book after finishing college, but how many college students were asked? If only 100 students were asked, then it is not a large enough test group. What about the thousands who have graduated, how many of them are reading? Were the students from Jr. colleges, private colleges, public ones, and/or Ivy league colleges or just from one of those institutions? What about locations, in the east, south, north, west, and majors, that can be a factor in what is read.
And are they talking about colleges or universities, there is a difference between the two. Many (me included) will use the word, college/university, interchangbly but there is a difference. When someone asked if I went to college, I can say, yes, I did; but I really went to a university, Ohio University.
And that is just college students, as others have stated, what about the other areas that could be considered reading, but seems to have been left out of the study.

To me they are not giving any evidence to back up their stats.

Something that is not being considered is that some of the games, role playing ones, have a lot of reading in them. Not as much as a book, but still, the kids are reading dialogue between the characters. And what about the cheats? How many kids buy the mags, or go online and read those to learn how to complete a certain task? My son has printed out 12 pages of info to read on what, where and how to do something to obtain something. That is a lot of reading, and he had to read sections to find the one specific task he was looking for.
