Even though the last few posts are a bit off topic... I wanted to respond to the original idea.
1. Polling MR members isn't polling the average reader. It's polling the average forum going reader who is interested in eReaders.
2. I seriously don't think education level has anything to do with a love for reading. (Minus, yknow, getting to the point where you learn how to read.) I have an associate in arts degree and I'm currently in a technical program for nursing, and I can't get enough reading. I've /always/ been this way, since I was a small child. My grandfather loves reading and he has a Masters in English. My other grandfather also loved reading, most especially nonfiction, and the only reason he had a Bachelor's was because of the GI bill. My dad also loves reading, he has no degree at all. My boyfriend loves reading, he is in an EMT technical program.
I think my point is people who love to read are just that - people who love to read. They aren't educated or non-educated, they aren't from a specific socio-economic class. They just enjoy reading. It's like people who like to take walks, or people who like to play tennis. It's just something they like to do.
