The average daily time spent reading by individuals in the United States in 2023 amounted to **** hours, or **** minutes. According to the study, adults over the age of ** were the most avid readers, spending over ** minutes reading each day. Meanwhile, those aged between 15 and 19 years read for less than **** minutes per day on average. Reading and COVID-19 Daily time reading increased among most consumers between 2019 and 2020, part of which could be linked to the unprecedented increases in media consumption during COVID-19 shutdowns. The mean annual expenditure on books per consumer unit also increased year over year, along with spending on digital book readers. Book reading habits A 2020 survey on preferred book formats found that ** percent of U.S. adults favored print books over e-books or audiobooks. However, engagement with digital books is growing. Figures from an annual study on book consumption revealed that the share of adults who reported reading an audiobook in the last year almost doubled between 2011 and 2019, and e-book readership also grew overall during that period.

In 2023, women spent an average of 0.32 hours per day reading, which equates to 19.2 minutes. Men were less likely to read as often as women, and their average daily reading time decreased each year, with the exception of 2020 when their reading time increased substantially.

This statistic presents the share of people in the United States who have read at least one e-book in the past 12 months as of January 2018, broken down by ethnicity. During a survey, 19 percent of Hispanic respondents stated they had read at least one e-book in the previous 12 months.
