This statistic is not very useful in isolation. What percentage of people in this age group have tried using ebooks? They say that 45% of those surveyed don't have an ebook-ready device... what percent of the ebook naysayers have not even tried it?
It also seems odd to me that they treat 16-24 as one group. 24 year olds are adults who hopefully have college degrees, jobs, perhaps have a long commute, and nontrivial income. 16 year olds are most commonly living with parents and unemployed. It's not hard to imagine these differences being a factor in digital media habits.
