Gen Zers are bookworms but say they're shunning e-books because of eye strain, digital detoxing, and their love for libraries
Perhaps the most surprising trend is not Gen Zers' love of books but the way they consume them. While their pastimes usually, data and interviews with Insider suggest this doesn't apply to books. They're choosing to ditch digital formats and opt for the timeless paperback book.

She said while e-books were affordable and great for traveling, her preference was printed books. Wang Sum Luk, a 21-year-old student studying English at Oxford University, said he'd used an e-book in the past but found it impractical. While e-books may seem more convenient, Luk prefers a print edition, he said.
