In case you're referring to my post... I'm being completely serious. Romance readers manage to fall under the radar of so many literary segments, that their contribution to the rise of the Kindle could easily have been overlooked by many of us.
I always doubted that so many people could buy an expensive device like the Kindle sight-unseen, and I expected that most Kindle buyers probably were introduced to the device by another owner instead. I can easily believe romance readers could have been an "underground" promotional force for the Kindle, which has had no other public demo venue available, showing the reader to their friends and family and driving sales. Makes sense to me.
