Study: People with e-readers read more

(CNN) - If you want to read more, grab an e-reader. The Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that people who use the electronic devices tend to read more than those who only use printed material.

The typical e-book user read 24 books over the past year, while traditional book lovers only read 15.

Right now, about 28 percent of adults in the United States own at least one tablet or e-book reader.
That doesn't factor in the the people who use e-reader apps on their phones or iPods.

A third of the people studied say they read more since turning to e-content.

However, printed materials are still the preferred option for people who read to children or want to borrow and lend books.
