Why? The conclusion is that 75% prefer paper books, not that 75 percent of people who've used an e-reader prefer paper books.
Suppose a survey asked: Do you prefer to read mysteries or science fiction? If I don't read science fiction--which I don't--should I be disqualified from answering the question? By choosing not to read science fiction, I've expressed a preference. It's a perfectly valid preference.
Or if the question is: Do you prefer to travel by plane or by train? and I'm scared to fly, do I not get to give an answer? Why not?
