I started reading ebooks in college when I was 18 and got my first Sony ebook reader at 27. Um i'm 28 so I guess I fall into the 20s crowd. It also annoys me when people say kids don't read because I was reading Stephen King novels when I was 11. (not going to talk about the quality of his writing but the point was The Stand unabridged was a long book for an 11 year old) And well my passion for reading never died out and I don't see why paying 400 for an ipod is much different from spending 300-400 on a ebook reader? It just depresses me that listening to music seems to be more valued than reading.

but apparently there are a lot of avid young readers out and about.

My grandfather loves to read now and never had the time when he was working full time so I guess anyone could learn to love to read regardless of age. As for the Sony PRS-505he looked very interested in getting one himself once I mentioned you can adjust font size.
