Here’s a couple of items. A lot more at the site:

# Almost all PC / Laptop are .pdf still
# Nearly half (49%) of ereading devices continue to be acquired as a gift from someone else
# Cost of entry is still the top reason people who read ebooks have not switched to a device.
# Among ebook buyer, print is definitely losing ground – nearly 50% of ebook readers now say they are buying exclusively or almost exclusively ebooks/ 49% indicate they either MOSTLY or Exclusively purchase ebooks
