I've found that college/university students tend to read more than the general public even outside of their classwork-so it makes sense that they'd be more interested than the general public in an ebook reader.
the bit about intelligent questions is interesting-I've not found students to be markedly more 'intelligent' as they tend to be long on theory but short on experience. But I do wonder if maybe readers, in general, aren't more intelligent? Although experience gained thru reading is, technically, theory, the better fiction is well-researched & tends to mirror human motivations & actions, thus providing (IMO) a reasonable facsimile of experience.
