Young adult readers ‘prefer printed to ebooks’

Survey finds that 62% of 16 to 24-year-olds prefer traditional books over their digital equivalents: The Guardian

Sixteen to 24-year-olds are known as the super-connected generation, obsessed with snapping selfies or downloading the latest mobile apps, so it comes as a surprise to learn that 62% prefer print books to ebooks.

Asked about preferences for physical products versus digital content, printed books jump out as the media most desired in material form, ahead of movies (48%), newspapers and magazines (47%), CDs (32%), and video games (31%).
