I've written a bit about the ebook reader price curve, for 
example here:

The available data on the demographics of Kindle purchasers shows 
that the most rapid adoption occurred in the OVER 50 age group.

The younger market might be more "robust" but the older readers 
appreciate the ability to make the text bigger.
