The Schools.com (http://www.schools.com/) infographic shows that 43 per cent of of Americans aged 16 and over read an e-book or similar in 2011, while e-reader ownership grew from ten per cent to 19 per cent in December 2011 to January 2012, respectively.
Meanwhile, 62 per cent own a Kindle, 22 per cent own a Nook, and nine per cent don't have a clue what device they own.
