Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation!
Have you ever wondered which generation reads the most? It’s obvious to think that millennials and Gen Z are tech-savvy and massively influenced by social media. And so, they don’t read much.
But to your surprise, Gen Z and millennials are avid readers. In fact, millennials (born between 1980 and 1995) are reading the most.
An infographic by Best By The Numbers explores the reading habits of the five generations as listed below:

All generations still prefer print books, although everyone prefers to read news online. Especially Gen Z prefers print books over e-books.
While Baby Boomers (born from 1946 to 1964) and the Silent Generation (born from 1928 to 1945) discover their books from bestseller lists, Gen Z discovers them on social media.
