Abstract

With the rising popularity of digital reading media, leisure reading is undergoing a transformation process. However, the reasons for readers to adopt e-book reading or to stick to traditional printed books are mainly unknown. Therefore, we explored demographic and motivational differences between print readers, digital readers, and readers using both reading media. We further studied their book-reading practices, like the amount of reading, the preferred genres, the different reading situations, and if there are dedicated reading media for specific genres or situations. Additionally, we explored if digital reading media have changed the reading process or just appeal to a certain type of reader. Therefore, we conducted a survey (n  =  779) of adult book readers about their leisure reading behavior. The results show that print readers, digital readers, and readers using both media differ in age, gender, amount of reading, genre preference, and the situations in which they read. Furthermore, digital reading media especially foster reading on the move.
数字时代的图书读者:阅读实践与媒体技术
随着数字阅读媒体的日益普及,休闲阅读正在经历一场转型过程。然而,读者采用电子书阅读或坚持传统印刷书籍的原因主要是未知的。因此,我们探讨了纸质读者、数字读者和使用两种阅读媒体的读者之间的人口统计学和动机差异。我们进一步研究了他们的阅读习惯,如阅读量,偏好的类型,不同的阅读情境,以及是否有针对特定类型或情境的专用阅读媒体。此外,我们还探讨了数字阅读媒体是否改变了阅读过程,或者只是吸引了特定类型的读者。因此,我们对成人读者的休闲阅读行为进行了调查(n = 779)。结果显示,纸质读者、数字读者以及同时使用这两种媒体的读者在年龄、性别、阅读量、类型偏好和阅读情境方面存在差异。此外,数字阅读媒体尤其促进了移动阅读。
