Poll Shows That 75% Prefer Printed Books To eBooks

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday July 21, 2013 @03:41AM from the give-us-dead-trees dept.

Attila Dimedici writes "In a new Rasmussen poll, 75% of American adults would rather read a book in traditional print format than in an ebook format. Only 15% prefer the ebook format (the other 10% are undecided). The latter is a drop from the 23% that preferred the ebook format in Rasmussen's 2011 poll. In addition, more say they buy their books from a brick and mortar store than say they buy books online (35% from brick and mortar, 27% online). I suspect that the 27% who buy online buy more books, but these results are interesting and suggest that the brick and mortar bookstore is not necessarily doomed."

The Roman Empire still here, but the seat of power moved around a bit since the 400s. It's currently in Washington, D.C.

The tin-foil is strong with this one.
