Way back in the 1920s, librarians started research into how often a book is read, how much of a book is read, and how many sales were spurred by reading a book. Turns out different formats have very different answers to those questions. Over time, the research was refined, albeit still guesstimates.
With ebooks, it is possible to determine exactly how much of a book is read, and how frequently books are read --- if the individual doesn't consistently take active measures to prevent the device manufacturer, and/or software developer from obtaining that information.

Interesting about the reports. Both print and digital? And probably NDA-ed?
