Young people still prefer traditional books

E-books have yet to take over from print – far from it, in fact – when it comes to Millennials, according to a survey by Publishing Technology.

The UK content solutions provider surveyed 1,000 Millennials – defined here as 18-to-34-year-olds – each in the US and UK to get a sense of how they did their reading over the previous year and found that when it came to books, their preferences remain firmly rooted in the physical world.

Most Millennials have read a traditional book in a year and have not gone fully digital, says the survey. Photo: Filepic
