I hate to say this, but I doubt very much this survey is very representative. 212 respondents from 7 schools. What faculties? How where they chosen? Howmany did not respond? Where there respondent that did not have an e-reader? Did any have more than one? These figures do not feel realistic! regards Keith. Am 15.09.2010 um 22:04 schrieb Bowerbird@aol.com:

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.
