I was rather surprised to find the entire Twilight series, young adult literature, listed in the top 10 bestselling Kindle Books. Wouldn't that indicate that many Kindle users are also young? Or at least parents are sharing their Kindles with their children?

I am in my late 40's and bought the first book in the Twighlight series because the (admittedly much younger) girls at work were all talking and raving about them. So I figured that since I liked Harry Potter, I'd give it a try.
That being said, its been sitting on my Kindle unread for awhile ![]() p.s. My mother who is in her 70's is also now a proud Kindle owner, but you won't find her on any internet boards ![]() |

I'm at the older end of the spectrum, not quite 60. My younger sister and her 25-year-old daughter also have Kindles, both on my account -- which lets us share books.
Speaking of the Twilight series: I don't know where it is, but someone wrote in her blog, "J K Rowling proved that young adult novels can be 500 pages long and Stephanie Meyer proved that some shouldn't be." I've traced it to LiveJournal, but not to the the person who coined it. |

I think that mid 40's is right. I am early 50's and I love my techie toys. the more the better. The newer the better. lol

I vote for "Older than 25". If you are younger and you have $359 to spend, you'll buy an iPhone.
Steve Jobs says nobody reads books - but who are Apple's customers? Cool people, so he is biased.. Who buys a Kindle? book readers. Who reads books instead of facebook, twitter, etc. ? And who has disposable income? Figure it out. hint: "old" people. |

As much as I love JK's writing, someone needs to slap her. She is vehemently opposed to e-readers.

Doesn't surprise me, but does disappoint. After all, aren't ebooks rather magical? But what really disappoints is that it takes them 24 months to move from HB to pback - that's just greedy. |
