You're absolutely right; owning an e-reader ought to be seen as a sign of loving to read--enough to spend several hundred dollars on one! I think the survey asked that question (and I highlighted that stat) because of the publishing industry's concern that print books are being supplanted by ebooks. At least for these 100 people, that's not the case. Great point, John.

But that 90% said they don't own a Kindle isn't necessarily something to trumpet. Arguably, people get Kindles because they're love for reading is so strong. I'll probably get one myself--as soon as I can afford it. Yes, this is encouraging news about our supposedly dying love for reading.
