Millennials still prefer print for pleasure and learning

Washington

FRANK Schembari loves books - printed books. He loves how they smell. He loves scribbling in the margins, underlining interesting sentences, folding a page corner to mark his place.

Mr Schembari is not a retiree who sips afternoon tea at Politics & Prose or some other bookstore. He is 20, a junior at American University, and paging through a thick history of Israel between classes, he is evidence of a peculiar irony of the Internet Age: Digital natives prefer reading in print.
