I happened to read about a survey conducted on the reading habits of e-books readers in America and the comparison was with non-eb-ook readers. I found things to be pretty interesting but frankly, a bit unreal too. So, I thought of taking opinions from you guys! Also, I would like to state what i happened to read in the survey. The survey stated the following facts:
- The number of Americans who have read an e-book is considerably high than print-book readers, this was the basic finding of the study
- An average E-book reader reads about 24 books whereas only 15 books are read by non-e-book users. This is the number of books in a year.
- There were 21 percent of US citizen who read atleast one e-book in the previous year compared to 72 percent of them said they have read one print book in the same span
- 42 percent of e-book readers read on their computer, 41 percent on an e-book reader but 29 percent have started reading on their cellphones. There are 23 percent reading from tablet also
- Out of the entire lot of e-book readers, 88% have read a printed book also during the last year.
- 61 percent of e-book readers have purchased the e-books where as only 48 percent of other readers have purchased it, rest of all prefer taking it from friends and all
- According to 81 percent of people present for the survey, it is still the printed books that are perfect for children for varying reasons
- According to 73 percent of people present for the survey, it is the e-books that they would chose while travelling or communicating
