New Pew Study on Book Reading

 

  • A growing share of Americans are reading e-books on tablets and smartphones rather than dedicated e-readers, but print books remain much more popular than books in digital formats
  • The share of Americans who have read a book in the last year is largely unchanged since 2012; more Americans read print books than either read e-books or listen to audio books
  • Nearly four-in-ten Americans read print books exclusively; just 6% are digital-only book readers
