My sense is more, although it might not be a fair comparison. I've been e-reading for a decade, and almost exclusively digital for 8 years.
In the 5 years prior to my e-reading, I was in college and graduate school. My leisure reading was very limited, since I had heavy school reading loads (grad school averaged 4 books and 12 journal articles per week. Luckily, I worked in a library, and then a bookstore - places that didn't frown on reading on the job)
And really, when you're doing that much required reading, leisure time isn't usually spent reading.
I think the contrast between lugging heavy tomes for school and reading novels on my Sony Clie made the transition to ebooks easier.
