There are loads of studies out there that show women read more from a young age and continue to do so as they grow up. Whether this is somehow a gender trait that is coded in our DNA, or it's something that is brought on through social constructs is as of yet undetermined.
There are also studies out there, beside the Kobo survey, which report that the younger you are the less likely you are to like ereaders. Of course there are exceptions, because we aren't all the same person.
Now the natural extrapolation from these surveys is that older women will make up the larger percentage of ereader owners.
As far as MR is concerned, you're limiting the scope of your survey fairly drastically. I don't think this community is representative of the world community, or even the community of ereader users.
