All you have offered here is evidence of pervasive cell phone use. The only evidence you offer that cell phones are beating e-readers when it comes to news reading is conjecture. The “race” has just begun. We don’t know how many Kindles have been sold because Amazon is not releasing the figures. And the other e-reader products haven’t even hit the market yet. A cell phone is not made for reading. An e-reader is. The young people will understand that very soon when they start buying their college textbooks on e-readers, for far less than the price of the printed version. And when they start doing that, they will start reading newspapers on e-readers. And they will never think of their cell phones as reading devices, except for maybe a text message or headline or two.
