Just don't fall into the error of assuming that because Mobileread is full of booklovers who clearly are not late adaptors or suspicious of new technology, this particular constituency is even remotely significant statistically.
(Vice versa, of course, I'm not clear there is any support for Hornby's statement in the first place, but that's the other side of the coin -- it should be polished separately.)

Actually, the mere existence of MR does disprove the quote from Hornby. Note the use of 'always' in there. As we as MR exist, however small a percentage of readers we may be, what Hornby states is untrue.
