Do German Readers Prefer Print Books?

22 07 2015

Hello All,

Being a full blooded American German, combined with being a diehard ink on paper gal, I find these statistics interesting.  There are two words in the English language that I believe cause more arguments than any other words, “always and never”.  I try not to use these words, but in this case, I’ll say that I will never read a book on an electronic device.  I still prefer the smell, feel and satisfaction of holding a book in my hand.  I made a post about this last year as well, so I stand with my thoughts that I feel this strongly about print books because I’m German 🙂 ~ Danke Penny
