If it's selected properly, it is enough for a good sampling. I have no idea if it was selected properly, although these are actual professional pollers.

Did they survey people that experienced e-readers? What age group were they targeting? What geographical location? Any many many more questions need to be addressed before we can get an accurate pulse on paper vs e-books.
None of these points matter for their poll, which was designed *only* to see what Americans in general thought of e-books vs. paper books. An experienced e-reader is still only one individual.
