I also agree with the lestatar above that e-readers don't tell the whole story. Cell phones and pad devices have to be factored in on the assumption that most folks would prefer not to have redundant electronic devices.
Yeah. I would like to get my mom into eReading. She doesn't really get iTunes, although she has had an iPod for years. She says she wouldn't like eReading but I think she might get into it.

Anyway, I know 5 people with dedicated eReaders and my circle is quite small. Also, there isn't much public transportation around here, so there you go. I mostly just read at home at night but I do listen to audiobooks while out running errands.
