  • A fifth of American adults have read an e-book in the past year and the number of e-book readers grew after a major increase in ownership of e-book reading devices and tablet computers during the holiday gift-giving season
  • The average reader of e-books says she has read 24 books (the mean number) in the past 12 months, compared with an average of 15 books by a non-e-book consumer.
  • Some 41% of tablet owners and 35% of e-reading device owners said they are reading more since the advent of e-content.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • There are four times more people reading e-books on a typical day now than was the case less than two years ago
  • E-book reading happens across an array of devices, including smartphones.
  • In a head-to-head competition, people prefer e-books to printed books when they want speedy access and portability, but print wins out when people are reading to children and sharing books with others

    From the article: "Teens lag behind all other age groups in e-book adoption. Sixty-six percent of 13- to 17-year olds say they prefer print books to e-books, 26 percent say they have no preference and only 8 percent prefer e-books.  One reason for this resistance: Teens like using social technology to discuss and share things with their friends, and e-books at this point are not a social technology."
