Consider that only 34% of adults have access to the Internet (as of June 2012; source: World Internet Users Statistics). And 1.2 billion people don't even have regular access to electricity.
I suspect the statistics were based on people in a particular country or region, or perhaps those who responded to an on-line survey and so by definition have Internet access (which is hardly a cross-section of the population). If so, they ought to make that clear.

The subtitle of the report is:
"Technology is changing the way
Americans read, and those under 40 are leading the way."
Emphasis added.
Also the source info says it was a sample of 1000 adults
nationwide with an additional survey of 819 ereader and tablet owners later.
