But to me just throwing out that 65% figure without context makes very little sense. I know science textbooks and needlepoint books do not translate well to ebooks.
That would be like me saying 10% of my facebook friends are good authors. The next logical question would be how many of your Facebook friends are authors.

Absolutely agreed. I would like to see some realistic figures. But what does seem to be apparent is that there is a significant segment of the market which only traditionally published authors are reaching.
