The survey on reading habits was conducted on 5,000 people in their 20s to 60s in February. The groups are: 1) paper book readers; 2) those who read on an electronic handheld device; 3) those who read on a PC; 4) those who read on two or more electronic devices; and 5) those who hardly ever read books. But the survey has made it clearer that physical book readers are better in those abilities,” an official of the institution said. Nevertheless, the number of people who read paper books is in gradual decline. On the other hand, those who said they read one or more electronic books in one month increased from the 2013 survey by 11 percentage points to 19.7%.
