People who read books, newspapers and magazines in digital form are more likely to increase how often they read.

Of those surveyed, nearly 30 percent said they own an e-reading device, such as an Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook or Apple iPad.

The typical e-book user reads 24 books a year, compared to 15 books for those who read paper books.

Amazon's Kindle is the top choice of e-readers with 60 percent of the market, compared with 20 percent for Barnes & Noble's Nook.

Among tablets, Apple rules with 60 percent owning an iPad, compared with 14 percent of tablet readers choosing an Amazon Kindle Fire.

People are also reading e-books on other types of devices. About 40 percent of e-readers have read a book on a computer, while around 30 percent have used a cell phone for reading books.

50 percent of those who have never read an e-book (across all age groups) have no interest in e-devices, no matter the cost or the product.
