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.

It seems natural that people who read very little would prefer paper books to ebooks. Paper books are far superior to ebooks when you need to start a fire, level uneven furniture and when the TP runs out...
