Survey finds 76% of children prefer print books
http://www.thebookseller.com/news/children-prefer-print-books-e-books-survey-finds-322447
This time a survey from the UK. I have expected print books to remain
significant, but this and the recent international survey of students
have surprised me.
Joseph Harris
A quote or two:
The research also revealed that "even highly digitised households"
prefer to use print books for children's reading. Although 92% of
parents and 73% of children were said to be confident users of technology
"BookTrust is an unrivalled fan of printed books, but we must all
embrace the digital world as children are growing up using many
different platforms for their reading. What's fantastic is that even
reluctant readers are probably reading more now than ever if you take
account of e-books, social media, gaming narrative, Facebook, texting,
Twitter and online forums.
