E-book readers in French-speaking Belgium 2016-2019, by reading equipment
What device do you usually read your e-books on? In Belgium, and more precisely the French-speaking parts, two types of devices stood out from the rest.
Laptops and tablets were the most common devices used to read digital books in 2019. Notably, approximately 40 percent of e-book readers used a laptop or a tablet to do so. However, from 2018 to 2019, the use of tablets seemed to drop to 34 percent, meaning tablets could be becoming a less attractive device to read e-books.
