When asked if they had downloaded an eBook, 85% of eBook device owners said yes. Of those who had yet to download an eBook, a third said that they "preferred the feel of a book" and two-thirds said that they had a smartphone or similar smaller device and the screen size was not suitable for reading eBooks. Survey participants were also asked what type of content would appeal to them in an eBook.
