[gutvol-d] kindle numbers and ipad numbers

i think the world has now pretty much figured out that the kindle "versus" the ipad is apple "versus" orange -- both can survive and thrive, each off in their own niche. but the _size_ of the niches is still an interesting topic, especially as we move along the present into the future. so here's an interesting set of charts:

in the "e-reader/tablet" sphere, the piechart says that 48% of college students brought a kindle to school and 48% brought an ipad. (the other 4% had a sony reader.) so it looks like, at this point in time, for college students, the ipad and the kindle have reached some form of parity. -bowerbird
