According to the report from Pew Research Center, 8 in 10 Americans between the ages of 16 and 30 have read a book in the past year. That's compared to about 7 in 10 adults in general.

Of the the younger adults surveyed some 75 percent read a print book, 19 percent read an e-book and 11 percent listened to an audiobook.
