From the section titled "What the device tells us" near the end of the report:
(By "device" they mean a dedicated ereader, rather than a tabet or phone with other functions. There are some numbers, but they involve terms such as "good" customers or "best" booklovers and you need to read the rest of the report to work out exactly what they mean by those terms.) |
I think that makes sense. Phones have a smaller window space so it takes longer to read even one page and not everyone wants to carry around a tablet either. Ereaders have a good sized window area and are both very light weight and small without being too small.
