According to the report "Book Reading and Buying Habits 2011" prepared by the Federation of Publishers Guilds of Spain , when reading, men use digital media more than women.
90.4 percent of those surveyed affirmed that they read any type of material and medium at least once a quarter, and newspapers are the most widely read format, above books, comics and magazines. Although in a general way, without distinguishing the medium or the format, a greater proportion of men than women declare to be a regular reader, they read more books and magazines, while they prefer the press and comics. When it comes to choosing a medium, 59.9 percent of male readers use the digital format, compared to 45.6 percent of women.
By age group, it is young people between 14 and 24 who read the most books, and this trend decreases as age increases. Reading habits are also related to the level of education, since people with university studies are the ones who claim to read more books.
In addition, home is the favorite place for Spaniards to read books, although many people take advantage of public transport to read , especially in the Community of Madrid, where more than a third of the population that reads does so on the metro or bus. .
