This statistic shows the results of a survey on the preference for paper or e-books in the Netherlands in 2020, by price. When respondents were asked whether they prefer to buy paper books or e-books if the price was 9,99 for both, 84 percent said to prefer buying the paper book. If the e-book was two euros cheaper than the paper book (6,99 instead of 9,99), only 75 percent still preferred buying the paper book.
