I'm not surprised that those that read only a couple books a year have no interest in ebooks. That *could* mean that those who read more than 20 books/year do prefer ebooks and the Pew Research results I pointed to upstream seem agree with that.

That is not what the headline in fact says, if we're going to be picky.
Secondly, again I say, so what? How many books per year are the respondents supposed to read in order for you to deem them worthy of having an opinion? Especially since you think up to 20 books a year is little or nothing.
Why do some of you seem to care so much if a whole lot of people simply don't like e-books? It's like you're threatened by their opinion. I don't get it.
