I don't really care how many readers prefer paper to electronic. I just know the "three out of four Americans prefer" bit is either bullspit, meaningless, or meaningless bullspit. There is no evidence to support that 3 out of 4 Americans read anything in the past year--let alone read enough to have a valid "preference." I have no trouble believing that a significantly larger percentage of "those who actually read" still prefer paper. No trouble at all. I just don't believe that three out of four Americans even read ... so how could the "three out of four Americans prefer..." claim possibly be valid? That's all BEFORE you get to the part about whether or not someone who's never experienced an ebook can even be said to have a "preference" at all.

Do you prefer apple pie, or a pie made from a fruit you've never tasted?
