Most people I'd interviewed had read more than one book in the last 6 months. Only a few, like three, had read one or fewer books over the past 6 months. 6 of them had read some part of the Twilight Series and other Fantasy and fiction novels that are well known. Such as Harry Potter. I think this says that the sample I took reads what other people read. So the New York Times Bestseller list plays a huge factor in my selection. I think this also shows people tend to read what other people say is good. Rarely will people pull out a random book from the shelf because they think it looks good. They buy what everyone else buys.
No matter what, I prefer the actual books as opposed to e-books. I've never bought an e-book, but my mom once bought an audiobook version of the first Harry Potter book. I HATED IT SO MUCH. Plus, there's a sort of sentimental value in actual books. You can actually hold a real book. It's tangible. You can give it to friends, family members, and anyone you want. You can mark it up, highlight, do whatever you want with it. But e-books, you can't give them to people, you can't hold them, and reading them actually hurts your eyes badly. So I think books are easily better than e-books.
