80% of registered voters might be accurate--those who can't read, often don't register to vote.

18% with a dedicated ebook reader... hmm, seems a bit high. Except, when I look at my office of about 30 people, I know of 3 e-ink readers, possibly a fourth (someone who asked me about them; I don't know if she bought one) and I'm sure there's a few iPads. And I suspect the office isn't entirely registered voters. (Whodahell decided to start counting iPads in dedicated ebook reader lists?) Counting iPads almost certainly skews the results; CA has lots of iPads.
