Rupert Murdoch Was Right: People Like Reading Papers and Mags on iPads

OK, so we haven't had our iPad that long. This study could have caught owners in the first flush of love...and we all know what happens to that! But, here goes....


A survey just released shows the majority of iPad owners prefer to read newspapers and mags on their shiny new device.  Thirty-one per cent in fact, with 26% using laptops or computers and 24% dragging themselves in the British summer rain to the newsagent to buy paper stuff (and yes I know you can get them delivered, but I wanted to mention the bloody awful summer we've been having).

iBooks are proving popular too...41% read on their iPad...36% on paper...and the remaining 7% use other devices, like Amazon's Kindle.

I said it's early in the iPad love affair. And the survey also shows that 62% use their devices at home and rarely take them out. Typical!
