Realistically reading for information is purely for show and nobody does it nowadays for any other reason than being able to say they read a smart book. Videos will give you more information, in depth and faster for any subject or topic.

More people need to know about Libby. I read a lot less when I thought I had to buy every book.

This is the classic revealed vs stated preference split right?
Hey, when people ask me I say I want to work out more, eat more vegetables, and drink less.
Now stated preference is still very very important, since it tells you what people think other people still want to hear. It is good that most people still think reading books is a prestigious activity worth aspiring towards.
At least it isn’t something like uhh, I donno, watching porno, where the stated amount of much lower than the real amount.

Wonder if there’s something that eats away big chunks of people’s personal lives and makes them too exhausted too read most days? Can’t quite put my finger on it…
