Surprizing! ebook readers' popularity grows faster than tablets!
The popularity and adoption of ebook readers like Amazon Kindle has almost doubled in the US and it is more than the tablets. This is surely surprizing. TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2011/06/27/pew-e-readers-doubles-6-months/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pew: Adoption Of E-Readers Doubles In 6 Months, Bigger Than Tablets • TechCrunch</a>-
A new #-Link-Snipped-# of U.S. adults conducted in May, 2011 shows that ownership of electronic readers such as the Amazon Kindle or The Barnes & Noble Nook is now at 12 percent. The ownership of e-readers doubled from six months prior when it was 6 percent.
The adoption of e-readers continues to outpace tablets such as the iPad and Motorola Xoom. Only 8 percent of respondents said they won a tablet, compared to 5 percent six months earlier. So tablet ownership seems to be growing at a slower pace.
Now, I had this idea that the tablets can very well be the ebook readers with dozens of ebook apps. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Does anyone know why's this happening?
