I'm certainly not representative of the book-buying public at large or even of the ebook readers here at MR. I read several books a week, usually nonfiction. I buy a large number of hardcovers (in the last 2 days, for example, I received 8 hardcovers that I had purchased online) and much fewer ebooks (on average, I buy 8-12 hardcovers a month and 3-4 ebooks; those numbers do not count the free ebooks I also download). I do not buy or read paperbacks.
The average reader is said to read 1 book a month, regardless of format. I suspect that people on MR read more than 1 a month on average, but I doubt the majority on MR read much more than that average. And many people on MR only read free ebooks, and ebooks only.
So, no, I'm not representative either, and never claimed to be.
