A survey held in France in early 2021 revealed that physical audiobooks were more popular among respondents who read fewer than five books per year, whereas just 11 percent of avid readers (those who read more than 20 books annually) reported engaging with that format. A total of 25 percent of avid readers preferred printed books, which the source noted was up by two points from the previous year.
