regarding this quote:
Quote:
Forrester's profile of the current e-reader enthusiast is a 47-year-old married man with a college degree and an average household income of $116,000. About 30 percent of e-reader owners use them on business trips, while about 17 percent rely on e-readers during commutes. They read about 3.5 books each month, more than the average Internet user. About 83 percent consider themselves "technology optimists."
this surely don't describe me, and i notice a lot of women on this board - and running a number of ebook-related blogs. we also have a lot of college students and grandparents drop in. and only 3.5 books a month?

is forrester just making this all up?
