Gen Z is choosing to read paperback books over e-books, data and interviews indicate.
  • The phone-obsessed Gen Z is surprisingly a sucker for paperback books.

  • One Oxford University student said real books strained his eyes less and allowed him to focus more.

There's no doubt that Gen Z loves to read.
