The only thing that bothers me about the results is the fact that the ebook is so young and recent. I suspect figures would change drastically as time goes by.  |
At 20-24, we're really too busy to read for entertainment. Plus I must question how these readers are advertised. Perhaps the target age range aren't students. Or perhaps
students hasn't developed the habit to enjoy reading. I question the numbers mainly because I showed it to friends and they're all interested one way or another. It's true that money is an issue to some students, but the price really wouldn't stop them from getting a Sony PRS 505. For some students, one course is equivalent to 4 Amazon Kindle, and they had to take 40 courses to graduate.
