If you're going to trash it, you might want to at least check the available information. http://www.bowker.com/en-US/aboutus/press_room/2012/pr_11142012.shtml On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 10:40 PM, <a@aboq.org> wrote:

Note that this report says that only 6% of readers use their computers to read ebooks. Another 6% use an iPhone or a smart phone.
This is a good example why Mark Twain was right when he said that there are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.
I read e-books on hardware Kindles, *and* on the iPad, *and* on the iPhone. So where does that put me in the table? Nowhere. I find it very hard to believe that only 6% of people read e-books on smartphones nowadays. The actual figure, I suspect, is much higher -- it's just that if the survey only gave them one option to choose as their answer, most respondents likely stated the device that they use for reading e-books *most frequently* (but not exclusively).
