You may be right on this Steve. Then again, anecdotally, many in the third world are reading on their phones, and even many who are in real poverty seem to have at least access to phones or even computers. I'm really not in a position to judge whether this is accurate or to what extent. Perhaps there are members of Mobileread who are better able to comment on this.
