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).
