I would think that most would be from an older generation, simply becuase the older we get the more likely we are to like things the way they were not the new way. Some of us tend to get set in our ways.

Actually that is counter to the experience of many... older readers are more likely to appreciate eReaders once they have been demonstrated to them... try changing the font size on a paperback or reading with a magnifying glass, if you need to do this then eReaders sell themselves on demo...
Also it might be an idea to define your term "older generation" so that it doesn't so patronisingly ageist...
