I offer to buy them ebooks (especially if the price is better and it's not something I necessarily want to read). No dice. They want print books they can pass around to friends. </p>Leila commented on 'Teen readers: print or digital?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2017d424d2044970c2013-03-26T12:21:32Z2013-03-26T12:21:32ZLeilahttp://bookshelvesofdoom.blogs.comThanks for chiming in!

Then again, it's an academic library, so that might skew the numbers. </p>Kerry commented on 'Teen readers: print or digital?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2017ee9be25e7970d2013-03-26T00:45:42Z2013-03-26T00:45:42ZKerryI can't comment on teens, but my 9 year old has access to both paper books and a Kindle.

So we'll keep him supplied with library books and he'll be happy. I don't know if that will change as he gets older, but that's his preference now.</p>Allison commented on 'Teen readers: print or digital?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2017c381a4633970b2013-03-25T22:11:57Z2013-03-25T22:11:57ZAllisonLast year, of 90-ish students, one or two read consistently on their smartphones or on eReaders.

This year, our of sixty I have at least ten who almost always read digital texts. </p>JoanneMarie Faust commented on 'Teen readers: print or digital?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2017ee9bc7f37970d2013-03-25T18:46:27Z2013-03-25T18:46:27ZJoanneMarie Fausthttp://faustisbookquest.blogspot.comThere are so many books with strong visual components, that I think are just better for print books.

I know that last year I gave YA books to teens that I knew read on e-readers because the books were better suited to the print format. Like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Why We Broke Up.</p>
<p>Personally, I'm just thrilled when kids want to read.</p>
