Think young people don’t read print? Think again. According to a new report from The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project which looked at the reading habits of Americans between the ages of 16 and 29, 83 percent of them have read a book in the last year and 75 percent of them read a print book. The report also found that 19 percent of them read an eBook in the last year and 11 percent had listened to an audiobook.

Interestingly, the study found eReaders and tablets are not the main way that these young Americans read eBooks.
