It'll be interesting to see if you're right, Logseman. I'm not sure, though. Perhaps the middle-aged (especially women) are very heavy readers, but when it comes to ebooks and new tech, the younger end of the reading market might well tip the balance.
I suspect, too, that a pretty large percentage of ebooks are read on smart phones and iPods, which might be difficult for older folks as the eyesight dims. I'm sixty and manage fine with PC, laptop, netbook and a Sony 505, but when I tried reading a novel on my son's iPod last year, I couldn't handle more than a few pages.
Let's hope enough MR members respond in this poll to give us some idea. It's especially interesting to me as a partner in a small indie press because all the statistics I've seen so far seem to be the result of educated guesswork.
Happy weekend. Neil
