Study shows that over half of all children have never read an ebook

Kindle PaperwhiteGood news for librarians.  A majority of children age 6-17 have never read an ebook.  Scholastic today released their biannual Kids & Family Reading Report and it showed that only 46 percent of kids had read an electronic version of a book before. Of course, librarians are never happy to hear about kids that haven’t read a book before.  They would love nothing more than to get the entire world embracing voracious reading at a young age.  However, the format that people are reading is definitely something librarians do care about.
The transition to ebooks from print books has been extremely challenging for libraries.
