i'm a little skeptical of the numbers as its hard to wrap your head around the actual number suggested by the poll.

Its saying that 14 MILLION adults in the US bought ebook readers in the 6 months from November to May.

Thats a huge number. I can understand a bunch were purchased in Nov and Dec. Then there was a big empty range from January through Feb. Then sales pick up again March-May. but 14 million people increase in ebook reader ownership is a huge number.
