Younger Americans are Reading

New from Pew Research  – Younger Americans’ Reading and Library Habits. Guess what - they are reading!

Some highlights:
  • 75 per cent of young Americans (those under the age of 30) read a book in the traditional print format in the last year
  •   per cent of young people read books in e-format, and 11 per cent chose to listen to books in audio format
  • online reading is generally using computers or laptops(maybe its us oldies who are addicted to Kindles and ipads)
  •  young Americans are e-reading long-form content.

Read Andy Richardsons good article http://www.researchinformation.info/news/news_story.php?news_id=1055 and then the report http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2012/10/23/younger-americans-reading-and-library-habits/
