No. I can say that I have some experiences with eBooks, because I have created eBooks (epub/mobi) of the html stories on my webpage. They are free and I thought that there might be some readers who would appreciate it, but I never got any responses. So I'm afraid, none of my readers has an eReader.
But I prefer printed books for myself. Maybe it's the mentality. I've tried eReaders in computer shops and in bookstores and for me it's always an electronic device and not a book. I also download free samples (MR/Smashwords/Projekt Gutenberg) sometimes and start to read them with Calibre Viewer, but the *feeling* is always: poor, and I skip them. It's not the same as a paper book.
So, for the statistics: male, aged, experienced (eBooks, not eReaders), dedicated paperback reader. And I don't like sushi.
Nonetheless: I like to follow the threads in the MR forums. They are very interesting and - sometimes - very amusing.
