Books, eBooks and Reading – Survey of Parents and Children


The NY Times reported yesterday on results of a study from publisher Scholastic. The survey explored the attitudes and behaviors of parents and their children, ages 6 to 17, toward reading books in print and on digital devices. The majority of these children are interested in reading an eBook, and a third indicate they would read more books if they had access to eBooks. However, about two-thirds would not give up traditional print books in favor of e-readers. Details on the study at Scholastic.
