I can prefer one over the other because I have at least some rudimentary knowledge of both. If I avoid one in favor of the other, I'm doing it because of a preference. My preference can be based on never reading science fiction, or on reading one book in the genre and hating it, or on reading a hundred such books and not caring for them.

I also didn't PREFER ereader untill I tried it for the first time. I actually remember a friend telling me she's getting Kindle for her husband and me trying to explain to her how bad that might be for his eyes 
But she, thankfully, didn't listen to me, got it for the husband, I saw it at their place, and there you go - I got myself one around one month later...

Fine. I'd certainly be interested in a survey that asked people who have owned an e-reader for, say, at least a year if they prefer e-books to paper books. But that doesn't mean it was invalid in the survey being discussed to presumably include people who don't use an e-reader and have decided not to buy one, for whatever reason.
