I'm guessing it is much older than 30... more around 45 maybe... Is that what that guy said? (I didn't read the link)

Here is my thinking... I think when you are under 30 you read a lot less. Because you are partying more, working longer hours to get established in your career, don't have kids that you need to stay home and take care of, etc.

Also, I think under 30 you earn less and don't have disposable income to spend $300 on a dedicated device. Sure, kids (30 and under) will buy a smart phone but that is a phone and PDA and game machine and MP3 player.
