This is very surprising to me, for much of the same reasons as given in the article. I'm in the latter part of my thirties and when I first heard about e-reading a number of years ago I was a little resistant, for the standard reasons of loving the look, feel and smell of books as well as not being a fan of the way e-ink screens blinked when turning a page, but it took only a few pages of e-reading to convert me.
So that such a large percentage of young adults prefer paper to electronic reading is slightly unfathomable to me... I didn't see that coming at all, and I don't really understand how it can be.
