該調查還發現一個新趨勢，去年有超過17%的國人使用有聲讀物。

Romance, history, languages and lectures were the favored audio content.

最受青睞的有聲讀物類型包括愛情、歷史、語言和演講類。

Xu Shengguo, Director of China Academy of Press and Publication Research Institute, said going back to hard-copy books is a worldwide trend, which has appeared in countries such as the U.S., the UK and France.

中國新聞出版研究院主任徐升國表示，迴歸紙質圖書是一個全球性的趨勢，並且已經在像美國、英國和法國這樣的國家出現了。

"Although digital reading is quick and convenient, it's only suitable for fragmented reading practices, while reading hard-copy books are conducive to in-depth reading," Xu said.

徐升國說道：“雖然電子閱讀很快捷、方便，但是它只適合碎片化閱讀，而閱讀紙質書則有利於深入閱讀。”
