People Still Prefer Holding Dusty Old Books

E-books aren't going to replace printed books anytime soon! That's according to Harris Interactive who carried out a poll among Internet users in the United States. 46 percent of them stated they only read e-books while 16 percent more said they read more print books than e-books. That's somewhat surprising given the emergence of e-readers and tablets. For the moment at least, people still prefer holding dusty old books rather than shiny new e-readers.
