Answer 1

The buying results show that, overall, print book sales have fallen dramatically in recent years, while e-book sales have been steadily rising. The survey shows that print sales of all book genres fell 15 percent last year, while e-book sales doubled to reach a peak in January this year. Figures from independent booksellers indicate that their customers are generally over 40 years old, so we can assume that it is younger people who are purchasing e-books.
