I'm curious about the following:
- Is this unique to Kobo's user base?
- Is this true for reading in general (and not just e-reading)? (There are some notes on that in the article.)
- Is this true for MR forum participants?

I didn't follow the link and I don't understand the poll, so I didn't vote. I think your poll might only show the age of people willing to follow the link.
I currently purchase most of my ebooks from Kobo, since I prefer epubs and I can easily download their books. They have the remnants of my Sony library, so that I'm basically keeping all of my virtual eggs in one basket.
I guess that makes me both part of the Kobo user base and the MR forums. However, since I honestly don't know what you're measuring, I didn't vote in the poll. (I'm an under 45 woman.)
