Considering that California is considered to have a 25-30% illiteracy rate overall I call BS and that's not even considering the actual percentage (very small) of the population that has eReaders of any type.

perhaps a corrected/accurate title would read...
The Book Is Not Dead: 80 Percent of Californians who responded to our poll Have Read a Book for Fun in the Last Month.

Heh, imagine the results of a similar poll run here for example and then do the same over at the local Wal-Mart.
