Harris Poll: 8 Percent Use Electronic Readers

One of the criticisms of eReaders is that people who have them may download more books than they would traditionally purchase, but read at the same levels. So far this criticism is not holding true at all. Over half of people with eReaders (53 percent) say they read more now than they did six months ago compared to 18 percent of non-eReader users, while 51 percent of non-users say they read the same as they did six months ago versus 25 percent of eReader users.
