I find it almost impossible to imagine a world without books. But have you ever wondered how reading habits and preferences differ across different age groups? Are the younger, tech-obsessed generations reading as much as older generations?
A new infographic by Best By The Numbers dove right into this topic. They compared the reading habits of the five generations: Gen Z, millennials, Gen X, baby boomers, and the silent generation.
Which generation reads the most? That mantle belongs to millennials, with 80 percent having read a book in the last 12 months. That's a higher percentage than any other generation. Millennials are also most likely to visit a library.
Despite the onslaught of new technologies like e-readers and e-reading apps, all generations prefer reading physical books to digital ones. While 65 percent of adults in the United States have read a print book over the last year, only 28 percent have read an e-book.
And here's something fun—French readers like to read sexy books. (OK, given France's reputation for romance, maybe this isn’t a huge surprise). More eye-opening is that French baby boomers are more likely to read those steamy books than their millennial counterparts. Perhaps the French know how to age well!
