Satan is not an individual in the Qur’an, “Shaitaan” means “the extremely rebellious”, and etymologically may mean "the husband of the original one".
Regardless of whether they are jinns or humans those who adopt the path of disobedience towards Allah are Shaitaan, and are considered followers of the tradition of Iblis.
Iblis himself is often referred to as al-Shaitaan.

YUSUFALI: Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers!

PICKTHAL: And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you? Calamitous is the exchange for evil-doers.
SHAKIR: And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam; they made obeisance but Iblis (did it not). He was of the jinn, so he transgressed the commandment of his Lord. What! would you then take him and his offspring for friends rather than Me, and they are your enemies? Evil is (this) change for the unjust.

You shouldn't believe everything that you read.
You shouldn't believe everything that you are told.
Common sense.
Ask questions. Use reason and logic.
Realise the foolishness of belief in any god or religion.
Tis is 2006, not 606. Times have moved on.
