I admit, if the topic were called "Do Hispanics read e-books" I would be faintly offended by it.

I was trying to summarize the core of the discussion, which apparently got started because some publishers think that African-Americans don't read e-books. I'll change the title, though.

Well, I don't know if African-Americans would find it offensive. I'm just saying, some part of me is like 'why would we be any different from whites when it comes to reading electronic books?'

Eh, but what do I know. :)

How would I know? It wouldn't have occurred to me that African-Americans would be different from other potential e-book readers. Publishers get freaky ideas sometimes. I just thought the discussion might interest people here.
