Pew Research Center Report: E-Reading

Though the recent PEW report documents that e-reading is increasing along with e-reader ownership (kind of a no brainer) it also finds:

• Most American adults prefer print books over e-books.  
• 70 percent of Americans read print books last year, but only 4%read exclusively e-books. 
• The average number of books adults read or listened in 2013 was 12.
• The median/midpoint number of books read was 5 for 2013. 
• 3 in 10 adults adults read an e-book last year.
• Half of American adults now own an e-reader or tablet, a 7% increase from 2012.
