I'd wager the average Kindle owner is not the same as the average American in this regard.

- baddox 15y agoWhat makes you think that? With the low price of the Kindle, I could see even very casual readers picking one up and not using it much.
- xyzzyz 15y agoAverage American is not even a casual reader.
- baddox 15y agoDoes anyone have any real data about the reading habits of the "average American?" I know several people, including my parents, that read many books a year but do not have Kindles. I also know several people who own Kindles but do not read many books a year.
- xyzzyz 15y agoConsistently, quarter of Americans claim not to have read any books in the year preceding the poll. My guess is that a real percentage of people who do not read books is in 35-45% range -- admitting not to read books is kind of shameful in western culture.
