Paper still prevails
NEW YORK
Adult readers in the U.S. still strongly favor paper over e-books, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center.
Around 65 percent of those surveyed had read a paperback or hardcover over the past year, compared to 28 percent who had read an e-book, Pew reported Thursday. Around 40 percent only read print books, while just 6 percent favor e-books exclusively. Fourteen percent said they had listened to an audio book.
E-book sales surged after Amazon.com introduced its Kindle device in 2007. But they began leveling off a few years ago and have even declined for some major publishers.
