If "young people" can afford a $400 video game system, accessories, and games, they can certainly afford a Kindle. I have one, I'm under 40, and I'm on the K2 boards off and on... but I don't visit the boards all the time because I have little use for them. And while I saw Bruce's post about it, I didn't respond because I think it's pointless to respond to questions like that.
The people who are generally on the boards are those wanting advice, and the few dispensing advice. Younger people, being more comfortable with technology, won't be on the boards as often asking questions.
So yes, I'm going to say that the sample isn't random. The types of people who are on the boards daily and responding to polls are (in my opinion as a 20-something) going to be my mom's age, 50+
