Sources used were Gallup and pew which include audiobooks, ebooks, and traditional books. Audiobooks count, gotta include my became blind late in life homies and people who fit it in on the oppressive drive to work.
Interestingly (to me) physical books remain king in terms of popularity. I’m ebooks and an ereader all the way. No trips to library, no expensive hardbacks, no finding a place to store 800 extremely bulky and heavy books that I will honestly never read 90% of ever again, etc
Percentage. But the interesting part is the demographic shift. American demographics who used to be known for reading more (college educated, elderly, women) are simply reading less
