Published by Statista Research Department, Sep 8, 2023

This is good news for the digital book market, which continues to face problems linked to unpaid illegal access. Pay-as-you-go downloads were also a popular option, whereas less than 35 percent of respondents accessed e-books and online audiobooks via digital library loans.
