Penetration of print book consumption in the U.S. 2018-2019, by education level
During a survey held in early 2019, 82 percent of American college graduates said that they had read at least one print book in the last year. This is a three percent decrease from the 2018 figure, but the most notable change took place among U.S. adults who did not graduate high school. Just 25 percent of respondents in this category reported having read a printed book within the last 12 months, marking a drop of ten percent from the previous year.
