Digital reading does not need to be superficial

MORE THAN HALF OF THE PEOPLE SURVEYED said they prefer digital reading to reading books, according to a survey report published by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication last week before the 23rd World Book Day. China Youth Daily comments:

This is the first time the academy's annual survey has found more people prefer digital reading to reading books. Like it or not, as the survey concludes, digital reading has become an irreversible trend. It makes more sense to think about how to make the best of it than simply criticizing it.

Although digital gadgets may distract the attention of users with other things, the resources available on internet-based reading devices are more abundant than before and there are many serious digital readers.
