Keep your Internet; we want books

Posted by: Robert MacMillan. Reuters overnight:

Whose kids are these, anyway? A new survey released by Scholastic Corp, the U.S. publisher of the Harry Potter books, shows that book publishers, newspaper proprietors and massive forest logging concerns have a future:
75 percent of kids age 5-17 agree with the statement, “No matter what I can do online, I’ll always want to read books printed on paper,” and 62% of kids surveyed say they prefer to read books printed on paper rather than on a computer or a handheld device.
And if you think that that dastardly Internet is going to turn the minds of children to pulp, guess again, the study says:
Kids who go online to extend the reading experience - by going to book or author websites or connecting with other readers - are more likely to read books for fun every day.
