It's A Multi-Media World (But Books Still Rule)
"Last year, Americans over age 18 averaged 3,530 hours with all forms of media -- playing video games, paging through magazines, watching television and DVDs and chatting online. Books captured just 108 of those hours, about 3 percent. From that narrow perch, books stubbornly cling to an outsized importance. So while American lives grow more wired, books remain -- barnacle-like -- as the weighty coin in the marketplace of ideas." The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) 10/07/07
