There are about 235 million adults in the United States, which means there are about 28 million adult ereader owners, and 19 million tablet owners.

Another interesting nugget from the study: the demise of the laptop has been greatly exaggerated. Since the November 2010 the percentage of adults who owns laptops has increased from 53% to 57%, whereas the percentage of adults who own tablets has only increased from from 5 to 8%.
