e reading on the rise

Zickuhr, K.(2014).E-Reading Rises As Device Ownership Jumps.PewResearch Center. Retrieved from http://www.pewinternet.org/files/2014/01/PIP_E-reading_011614.pdf Have you ever wondered if books will one day not be used for information or for pleasure reading? I personally enjoy the love of reading especially with an actual book in my hand. There is just something about having a book to hold and at times to highlight. I know there are times when my local library does not have the book I want to read, so I have to purchase it in an e book format(believe me, I don't enjoy that). I think to myself, why? Little by little, I do notice myself reading more ebooks than hand held books, only because it is very convenient for me to quickly go online and purchase a book I am in desperate need for. I have noticed more and more people around campus, at coffee shops, and around town who are using an e type form to read. Yes it's true! I learned from this article that even though books are mostly still used, e books are on the rise, and they are mainly used by woman. Woman are more likely than men to have read a book in the previous 12 months. Those with higher education and income are more likely to have done so as well. Blacks are more likely yo read than Hispanics. Here is an inforgraphic I created to show you some information I obtained from an article.
