Well, not directly.
Read through the comments again and you'll see price mentioned a few times. Fanfic once or twice. Library ebooks. PD a lot. Avid readers get a lot more bang for their reading buck via digital, which justifies the expense of a reader.
(Besides, the prominent Indies show up in print often enough that it's not a big driver by itself. Not yet, anyway.)
The causality tends to run the other way--first you get into ebooks, then you discover all those new voices. It's the main reason the establishment is ticked at Amazon: all those cheap(er) books eating away at their second and third tier sellers. The Pattersons and Kings get their sales no matter what but for the rest...
