Pew Research might be the only organization that does regular surveys of digital vs print usage, but it's not clear phone surveys can be trusted any more, particularly when sample size is only 1500 people. They don't say how many calls they made to get 1500 to pick up, or how they determine those people are 'representative' of the population as a whole. They're doing their best, I suppose.

At least 16 people in the family now have eink ereaders from age 7 to 70 approx.
