Great post bbb.
I think the Kindle is making readers out of a lot of people who weren't readers before.
I hadn't read fiction in years prior to buying my K2. (as you hinted at, I read non-fiction a lot at work and in my free time web surfing)
I find I'm doing a lot less surfing and a lot more reading now that I've got an eBook reader.
On the other hand, I think you're giving a lot of the public too much credit. I have a neighbor who is a typical American, and outside of work, he doesn't read AT ALL. He just watches TV for everything. It is kind of scary.
