The sensible question would have been more along the lines of
Part 1: Have you seen or used a dedicated reading device?
If yes then:
Part 2: Would you rather
A) read from a paper book
B) read from a dedicated device
C) no preference.
But then that might not give a result wanted.

Yup .... that's exactly why I said it smacks of agenda. They want a particular result, so they devise a poll and give it to a group of people that will give them the results they want. And, then they just quote the statistics without worrying about validity.
