I've voted '25-29' as the question asked was "when did you start reading e-books?" but this was, ahem, over a decade ago. I think one has to distinguish between people who read e-books (which I think will include many, MANY younger people who will read e-books on their phones) and those who have bought dedicated e-book readers (who I think will be older, simply because the d*mn things are so expensive).

I don't agree with the poster who says that kids don't read any more. My kids are voracious readers, just as I was at their age; and there seems to be no shortage of discussion on the net about books, involving people of all ages.
