Nov 27, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/636qp5/books_and) has announced the addition of the "Books & Readers, eBooks & eReaders" report to their offering.



Books & Readers, eBooks & eReaders With eReader ownership approaching 20% of U.S. Internet users, opportunities and implications abound for content licensors across all entertainment and media segments.

Books & Readers, eBooks & eReaders draws data from 10 sources to provide a snapshot of the expanding eReader user base. One thing is clear from this picture: owners of these new digital reading devices don't have their faces buried only in books.


This is particularly true of eBook consumers who read on iPads, Kindle Fires, and other multifunction tablets. But regardless of whether the eBook consumer base begins to favor tablets over dedicated eReader devices as some predict will happen in 2012 the importance of this market will continue to stretch beyond the publishing industry.

The consumer experience with eBooks informs attitudes and expectations of other digital media, from price points to the overall value proposition. Thanks in part to the broad appeal of eReaders and eBooks, these attitudes are forming among consumers at earlier ages than ever.
