Like several others on here I remember when Hershey bars cost a nickel (and were a bit bigger than the standard bar today) and I meet or exceed all the other demographics. I don't own an eReader device (bought a Sony PRS-600 a few weeks ago, which I just returned because VERY poor battery life and didn't replace because of the glare). I DO, however, read a LOT of ebooks on my HP iPaq 210 by using a large font size. My software readers of choice are Freda (for free/liberated ePubs) and eReader (for those books I purchased in the past 10+ years from Peanut Press and its successors for reading on my Palm III and its successors). I also read on my netbook using ePub for Firefox, eReader for PC and Adobe Acrobat.
As for eReaders not being my thing ... you're right! I've become much more discriminating in my tastes. Until eReaders allow me to read in bright light, dim light and everything in between without serious glare visible on the screen, I'll stick to my LCD and LED-based devices. Might not be able to read in bright sun, but here in Hawaii who wants to?
