If it were purely only about "1 device" people would be reading on the smartphone they already had.
But yes, I'd be interested to see the numbers pre-pandemic, much like how my publicly traded grocery store employer reports year over year same store sales and was at least for a time reporting same store sales vs 2019 because 2020 was weird.
EDIT: Like, same store sales going down 25% for the period corresponding to March 2021 vs March 2020 might not be that bad because, like I said, 2020 was weird and incredibly abnormally inflated.
